Apparently some kids are quite sensitive to the temperatures or slight pressure/expanding of the tube when medicines or foods are pushed down it. She did ask for a Kleenex this morning when she had it flushed (I assume it was flushed because of the cyclosporin, which is sticky, because she does usually have it flushed.</p> <p>She has had some nausea today, both times when we were talking about food (The first time, I asked her if she wanted anything to eat or drink, and the second time, we came to the food page in the sign language book). She vomited the first time, but not the second. The doctors have agreed to lower her formula to 30ml/hour (down from 35ml, previously she was at 25ml pretty successfully, but they have been trying to get it higher).</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/771/33142024-03-06T15:40:50ZHeidi Johnson<p>So good to hear this!! Will continue to pray especially for her liver. Tell her hello for me! :)</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/771/33132024-03-06T13:11:10ZLinda Wightman<p>Nothing tells me as much about how bad the past week has been as your &quot;We have lots of good news to report&quot; followed by news that taken out of context could seem quite grim. But good news is good news, and we'll praise God for it!</p> <p>To add something else to your list of possible reasons for her vomiting: I have a sensitive gag reflex, and can imagine that if you stuck a tube through my nose and down my throat, I'd be near gagging all the time. It wouldn't take much to induce vomiting.</p> <p>How's her ANC?</p>
