minajo, Shelley again... if her sigmoid is full, partial or complete blockage with poop, have they tried, probably under stronger sedation, to do a digital removal? OMG, it hurts, I have had to do 3 on myself.
Can they decompress from the sigmoid and through a nasal gastric tube, too? The nasal tube HURTS LIKE HELL going in, I had one, I should've have been at least somewhat sedated, cuz even I had a difficult time keeping still while it was being inserted. Once in, it is not painful, but it is uncomfortable. Your daughter would probably yank it out.
Don't hesitate for a second in pleading your case with everyone, YOUR VOICE can be one of the greatest powers you have over the doctors, so USE IT.
Anyone reading this, is there a reason why the daughter can't be very sedated?
Let us know how you both doing.
Shelley

Oh thank you and all for trying to help
Surgeon just said a resection would be a " miracle" surgery, might have colostomy bag and with autism, yanking out ivs would pull off colostomy bag
But too could perforate, she could die
Lord help me make right decision for my daughter..
