Day 225 - GI Procedure Part 2
Thursday, August 12th, 2021 7:30am James was headed down to Radiology with Dad. For anesthesia he got gas through his trach and meds via IV. 8:00am Dad was not actually allowed in the room. James went in for the procedure. 9:30am Procedure was a success! James now has a GJ. James woke up and we noticed that his G-tube was filled with gastric juices from his stomach. It was shooting all the way up into the farrell bag. Really seemed like too much. Feeds were restarted at 32ml/hour, continuous for 24 hours all fortified breastmilk. Gastric juices coming out of the G (stomach). Shooting up to the Farrell bag. At the site we noticed his GJ was leaking around the stoma. It was practically pouring out onto the bed. Mom changed about six split gauzes before the nurse could get the doctor. They contacted GI for suggestions on what to do. GI suggested that we vent the G into a preemie diaper. Good thing we have preemie diapers at home. Mom ended up putting a 4x4 around the butt...
