This is Mom again…Catherine’s Mom that is. The attempt to place the NJ tube was unsuccessful, the tube would not go past the duodenum and into the jejunum. So the tube was left there and she is still getting fed through it but it is called an ND tube. The radiologist was perplexed as to why the tube would not go farther than the duodenum. All he said was, “I’ll be seeing you again for an upper GI”. He was correct, and she has one scheduled for tomorrow morning. The thought is that there may be an area of constriction possibly caused by scar tissue from her previous surgery. This would require another surgery. Please pray that they find out what is causing Catherine to continue to spit up, and that she not require a third surgery. Please pray for her weary parents, we were looking forward to possibly advancing her feedings tomorrow, instead we feel like we’re back at square one. Thank you, you all continue to be in our prayers.
