Zachary is having a better night with some  baby steps forward.  Zachary is just starting his TPN for nutrition, this is day 6 with no food and he is losing weight. He is now down to 35.5lb from 39.5 not good.  He is still throwing up about every 30mins -so the DRS are still keeping a close on that.  The DRS stopped  his pain meds and acouple others this morning because of him Hallucinating. Zachary went 6 hours without anything and was in lots of pain.  I was rubbing his back and we had hot packs on his tummy and back. Finally at 5 they decided that he needed to be back on them.  He has not Hallucinated  at all  tonight ,so that is good! I was getting a little scared because he was describing the people that he was seeing. The Nurses think that he is maybe seeing angels or somthing.  He is not scared when he sees them so that is good.  Zachary has not passed any gas yet, his tummy is getting big and hard.  We need him to pass gas so we can start to feed him.

I talked to the DRS about the light at the end of the tunnel, and are ticket out of here . He said that Zachary needs to-

1)  pass gas

2) no more fevers ! he still has a low grade going on day 5

3) no more throwing up

4) pain under control

5) tolerate him G-tube feeds

6) no more Hallucinating

7) walk with no help

poop

9) Tolerate his meds down his G-tube

10) HELP!! I think we are going to be here for a while.

Overall Zachary is looking much better today and is heading down the right road.
