Keian is in the hospital again! We had a new tube put in that was supposed to keep him from throwing up. The tube is almost the same as before it just has a weight at the end so it will move into the upper intestine. We were hoping that this would keep the stomach from getting full and Keian would be at lower risk for aspiration. It looks like this is just no the case.
Last night around 4 pm Keian I was giving Keian a sponge bath and getting ready for an outing later that night. My mom, uncle, older sister Lisa and brother Jared all were in town. This was the first time we had gotten the entire family together in a few years. I had just finished bathing Keian and he had on only a diaper. Without any warning what so ever Keian starting throwing up. This time it was just stomach acid. The worst part was that he definitely aspirated again. Once while he threw up he also inhaled at the same time. His lungs sounded horrible and I called his doctor while suctioning him out and keeping his air way clear. She wanted me to bring him in once he stopped and I was able to give him a breathing treatment. However he wasn't stopping throwing up. I didn't trust taking him in the car since he needed to be in a car seat and his doctors office was across town. So I called for an ambulance to take him to the emergency room. Once he got a breathing treatment at the hospital he sounded so much better.
So he is staying over the weekend. The doctors don't want to release him until he definitely is keeping things down since he now is throwing up without warning. At least when there was stuff in his stomach he started gurgling and I could tell he would have a problem if I didn't do something. I'm at the point that I want the surgery pushed through if he doesn't develop any problems with the lungs. My biggest worry is that he is going to get pneumonia before he gets the chance to have surgery. I will discuss this with the doctor once we know there will be no problems. May be it might be the best thing for Keian.
