So last night wasn't great. Benjamin started throwing up a lot. The doctors did some bloodwork and x-rays to try to rule out and obstructions in his bowel. His bloodwork was great so that is a good thing. The x-rays showed lots of gas and poop in his bowels but nothing that would indicate and obstruction. Our surgeon is away but the surgeon but the surgeon on call is great. He said that its common for the bowels to go into shock and stop working for a bit. So they stopped feeding him and put on an ng tube to drain his stomach contents. There wasn't much bile which is great, but there is a lot of old blood indicating his stomach is irritated so they put him on meds for that. They are giving him suppositories as well to try to get things moving. So we're hoping things will start working soon. Please keep praying that things work themselves out and Benjamin will heal quickly.
