I have read through your posts, and I admire all of the thought and concern that you have put into this decision. It certainly is not easy!

You have sought the help and advice of professionals and are making best choice with what you know about your daughter and her health needs.

Will you continue to post and let us know how she is doing?

YES!!! ALL OF YOU MY NEW FRIENDS!!

YES!! I am so grateful for all the suggestions, "hugs" 🤗My daughter still hospitalized and by lack of communication was given two clear liquid trays yesterday an hour apart and i left for an hour and when i came back ahe had projectile vomiting for 2 hours, no iv as with profound autism has pulled out 3
She was doing excellent day before on clear liquids and after the decompression procedure imagine how upset i was holding towels under her and worrying about damage to abdomen😢
Xray done and showed much improvement after decompression, volvolus resolved, some stool in transverse colon, now having soft bm's.. she needs to progress to soft, then regular foods, so she'll be in hospital for that
And she had a blessing
from a priest last night, may a miracle come to her we hope 🙏

UPDATE ON NONVERBAL DAUGHTER WITH V
We are at day 10 of hospitalization
Daughter progressed to full fiber diet last night
No resection done after decompression and after8 people holding her for abdominal xray(autism,scared) showed colon empty of
stool
But with colace, she has not had bm, any one know about how long it takes for normal stool to start? She is sleeping in chair, can't tolerate bed
She's walking, drinking lots of water, she did have 2 extremely large formed bms monday nite but nothing since
Can this post be sent to all who replied to me?
Everyone has been so supportive but i can't reply to all, im a 76 yr old tired mom 😔
