Back at the hospital

At least she LOOKS relaxed when she is sleeping.

Lucy did have her endoscopy and feeding tube removed on Tuesday - she's all stitched this time, so NO LEAKING!  However, she has had persistent vomiting since we took her home on Tuesday afternoon, so we packed her up on Wednesday morning to go BACK to the hospital and will remain here until they can figure out the issue.

She is not responding to anti-nausea medicine very well (so far today she has thrown up 17 times) and doctors are stumped as to the root cause of the problem.  We've had a battery of tests to try to determine the problem but far everything has come out OK.  She is obviously very tired and weak and is on IV fluids since nothing stays in her tummy for more than a few minutes.

It's pretty rough to see her so listless and uninterested in life with no clear path as to how and when she'll be back to normal. :(  Prayers for all of us and for wisdom for the doctors to help us clear this last hurdle!

I'll keep you posted on her progress.
