My poor little man. He is fine for the most part, but right before that dose of Toradol he has these episodes of pain where he can't hold still and cries, gags, and cries some more.
I really can't explain it. There isn't words for it. All I know is it's rough on both of us. When he does this we wrap him in a warm blanket, and put heat packs on his belly. It seems to comfort him because as soon as we do all of this he is out for two hours.
I am going to have to invest in a heating pad when we get home. He acts so gassy when he gets like this, and we try to vent his tube, but not much comes up. Eventually though he lets out some monster burps and calms down enough to go to sleep. He was having episodes like this every 4 hours, now it is down to twice a day. So he is improving. I just breaks my heart that he even has to deal with it at all.
His feeds have been upped, he is now getting them at a rate of 30 an hr rather than 15, and he is still tolerating it.
Now a request......
I have been totally addicted to Facebook since I have been up here. So if you are on face book come find me, or leave a comment on here and I will come find you. I am under Pamela Geertsen Bird.
Also sending big hugs to Andy......I miss you honey. Sell lots of cars this weekend okay???? I am going to need a shopping spree once I get home!!!! Pretty Please????
Okay, I know it's not happening, but a woman can dream can't she????
These are a few of Rhett's favorite things.
