Bless her heart. Poor baby Rowan has been stuck with needles for iv's or blood draws over 12 times in the last two days because her picc line was removed due to possible infection. Today we learn, no infection. This afternoon they placed a new picc so Rowan will not have to endure any more torture! They also put in a different feeding tube- Ro continues to throw up when it is in the stomach. Now her tube feeding will go into her intestines directly. They say her stomach may just not be quite ready for food right now. The last time she was eating well was in mid- October.
We are praying that she does not throw up anymore. It started again when we re-started the feeds, but they have decreased the rate again to try and help. If she continues to throw up, it seems like there may be another issue. But everyone is fairly confident that her stomach is just not ready. Watching her throw up is so hard.
Today was the first day that Rowan was able to go without oxygen! With that tape and tubing off her face and the old feeding tube out, I got a few pictures :)
Tonight; however, she is back on oxygen. I think she is still sedated and worn out from her procedures... Tomorrow I am wishing it will stay off for good!
Sleeping angel baby.
Right after her procedures...
Keep healing, sweet Rowan! You look so beautiful!!! We'll keep praying for you each day to become stronger and stronger. :) xoxo- MB and Colby
