Back Home

Noah had to be admitted yesterday because there was no radiologist to put in his tube until today. So we ran IV fluids overnight, and his tube went in this afternoon. It was a difficult placement this time, and once again, it is in a strange position (although different AGAIN from last time). The radiologist was stumped as to why his small bowel seems to be in a different position with each xray, but suggested possibly a malrotation. He showed me all the xrays over the past year, and they are all bizarry different. He did put some barium down the tube to make sure that it was passing through to the small intestines, and it did. We are still waiting for surgery to weigh in on this. There is talk of exploratory surgery to figure out his anatomy. Hating the thought of another possible hospital stay at this point.

Feels like we've been through the wringer today. Noah crashed on the living room floor as soon as we got home. My own bed is calling my name...
