Zachary sitting in his chair so the spiders won't get him
Zachary is still hallucinating and he thinks black spiders are crawling all over him. Last night I had to hold him really tight and sing to him until he finally fell asleep; he slept good until 4am and then woke up screaming and jump out of bed. Zachary has been sitting in a little folding chair since 4am and now it is 11:30 he won’t lay in his bed because of the spiders and he won’t even touch the floor. It is so hard to see him like this and I pray it doesn’t last much longer. It is getting better little by little.
The DRS are also going to start him on Pedialite at 5 cc an hour to see if he can tolerate it; it doesn’t sound like a lot but Zachary has had a hard time tolerating anything in his gut. His gut and bowel just quit working and it will take time….. and will hopefully start to work again.
Zachary is still having trouble with his Mitroffanof, he is so scared every time we try to Cathing him; so the DRS decided to hook it up to a bag and continuous drine it.
And now with his Kidney; Zach had his labs drawn and his Creatinine ‘Kidney function’ is up again, and his liver levels are high. The TPN that Zachary is getting for his nutrition has a lot of side effect and some are Liver and Kidney failure. But this is the only way that Zachary can get his nutrition so live and grow until his stomach and bowel start to work again.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
Stacey
