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 🙏

Minajo,
Gosh, that sounds awful. Was her horrible vomiting caused by her taking in two trays of liquid, too fast? Or did something else happen with the miscommunication?
🥺❤️‍🩹🙏🫂🫂🫂🫂I know it's just the idea, cuz I know all of want to help and can't, but consider this a group hug from the many many many members who have read your posts. ShelleyW

I'm so pleased to read your report of your daughter's improvement at the last X-ray. Wishing her all the best as she regains her ability to eat and digest food. I hope you are able to take care of yourself during this time.

Looking forward to hearing from you again!

@minajo I have to commend you for all the work you are doing for your daughter. Though, work is really the wrong word. Has your daughter always lived at home with you? As someone who worked in a hospital (I was a nurse), I really think a care management meeting would be best for your daughter. A care-management team would include: you, 1 or two nurses, the discharge planners, social workers, hospital chaplain (if you wish), and maybe the doctor. These meetings were always very successful for the family. You will have a definite say in the discussions. What is 1 solution that you would like to come out of this meeting?
