Yesterday I had asked for prayers for poop (gross, I know). An x-ray of his belly was done to make sure nothing was blocked (its been 4 days since his last BM). Prelim results said there was no blockage but looked like a lot of gas. They stopped his tube feed for the night in hopes that helps get things moving.
Early this morning, Seth pooped twice (yay!) but he also threw up twice (not-yay!)
8:00am Dr noted from X-ray there may be an ileus, a lack of movement somewhere in the intestines that leads to a buildup and potential blockage of food material. (Fun fact: our intestines are about 28 ft long!) They will be suctioning his stomach to relieve any pressure of the build up of gas or liquids.
MRI still hasn’t happened to see if Nocardia is causing brain abscesses. It’s been almost 24 hours since it was ordered (ugh!)
If you would like one of the awesome bracelets that say “Prayers for Seth” contributed by friends Jeff and Sarah, please message one of us and we will send you one or more (for free of course). Picture is of friends showing off their bracelets. Upload yours to our photo collection!
Specific prayers:
Fever and physical relief, good MRI results.
Healing and comfort prayers for Ellis, Trey, Silverio, Danita, Ranjini, Janelle, Frank, Joyce, Sam, Caleb, Vincente, Jesse Jr, Derek, Lindsey, Betty, Steve, Anna, Michael, the families of Todd & Lex.
These are many of the families we’ve met at the hospital, each with a different story, different care, different prognosis. The thing that is NOT different between us all is our God that created and holds the earth and universe together, is the same God that knows us before we were born and continues to love and hold us in His hands. We trust in His promises!
