Eli update...

Eli had a rough day and last nite. He threw up lots and was very uncomfortable. Jeremiah stayed last nite in the picu with him and went home for a few hours when Jenn came. I talked to her on the phone and could hear Eli in the back just moaning and I could tell he was having a hard time ...so I was planning on going down to NC today after Mady's b-day party with Joseph for a few days....but by later this evening he was feeling better and they had moved him to a regular room and removed some of the IVs and other stuff and he felt much better...He was still throwing up some but I suggested they try benedryl. When Anna has surgery she throws up lots and the last time the resident in the floor, after 12 hrs of her doing this post op said he read an article once that giving benedryl helped for this ...It did for Anna and so far Eli is not throwing up when she called tonite...So please pray that he will not anymore and that he will be able to eat something and keep it down.

Oh poor baby! Don't they give Phenegren for nausea? It prevents nausea and they can put it right into the iv......
Glad he is doing better.

Actually they did try that but it did not work for him...nor did zofran which Mya and Luke both have had to use with their surgeries...but nothing was working...the benedryl did though.
