Today was somewhat of a setback day. Bill took the day off so I was on my own at the hospital. I arrived there to learn Logan had another episode last night where when he spit up his oxygen saturation number went down. They decided to take bottle feeding away from him and place a tube down his nose to his stomach and do a continual feed that way. This is supposed to hopefully eliminate the problem he is having with reflux and then spitting up through his nose which then causes some breathing issues till it’s cleared (this way his belly is never completely full causing more reflux). If this feeding method works they will give him a G-tube (a tube directly to his stomach in his belly) to feed him that way till he gains weight and can either better manage his reflux issue or is big/old enough to undergo any possible correction procedure. This all put me in a downhill spiral very quickly which then brought a crew of nurses over to console me. Seems consoling only makes me more upset. Hopefully tomorrow will go smoother for us.
