Day 153 - G-tube out 4x in 4 weeks!
Tuesday, June 1st, 2021 Changes/Updates: We have a new doctor starting today. He's had James a few times but originally had James when he was a micropreemie. He is only filling in for today and tomorrow. Increasing prune juice to 10ml from 5ml to help him with a bowel movement. James feels warm today and normally runs "cooler" temp at 97.4, but a 99.4 temperature doesn't count as anything. Gtube came out this morning! Balloon popped again due to James bearing down throughout the night during an episode. James is still irritable and sometimes inconsolable. Could it be a sedation wean? Gas? Reflux? Stooling? We don't feel that it's just him needing to be held because he will sometimes continue the episode after he is being cuddled. We managed to get some excellent photos of James smiling because his favorite RN and RT were giving him attention. We moved his crib to the middle of the room to get a change of scenery. He had some major afternoon and evening stools...
