Jessica's pain for her back seems controlled, however, last night around 10pm she started to show some signs of discomfort. Her belly seemed a little hard and was crying a lot which is unlike her. Jessica was given something to help her go to the bathroom and she seemed to settle for the night after about an hour.
Around 6am she was back to crying and it was everything we could do to sooth her. An x-ray of her stomach was taken to make sure there was no bowel obstruction. We were told that her bowels seems a little full at the top and not working it's way down. Jessica already has issues with her bowels and the side effect of the Morphine is constipation, which isn't helping her situation. Also her PH in her stomach was off which could cause an upset stomach. A fleet enima was given to her to help move things along. We are also hoping to start liquids through her G-tube today. We didn't have much luck yesterday with the antibiotics which made her vomit. Today, they are hoping to start with some water to see how her stomach reacts and then slowly introduce her food and PEG via g-tube.
Steve will blog more tonight when he gets back from the hospital.
