Belly troubles

The belly saga continues with mr. P. He was doing so much better, his belly looked good and he was healing nicely. They decided it was time to start his feeds back again. They were stopped on Aug. 4 because of suspected NEC. Well it was NEC, he had the operation on the 14th and feeds were restarted this morning. That didnt go over so well, by late afternoon his belly was all swollen and green looking again. So his feeds were stopped and tests were done. They put a drain in to get the nasties out of his belly. His milk just stayed there, he cant digest breastmilk and the drs say he has more dead intestine. Belly surgery #2 is tomorrow. Feeds will be stopped for atleast 10 days and then he will be put on neocate
