Another night

No luck in convincing the doc to let her go home tonight. He said maybe tomorrow. Dr Ott is a little perplexed as to why the stomach keeps swelling and thus not draining. He may have to put a needle in and drain it that way. Another option is to send her home with the NG tube (the tube/drain that goes in her nose and down into her stomach). She did throw up a couple more times today so the doc doesn't want to take the chance that she could aspirate. Perhaps we can all focus our prayers to the healing of her stomach so it will drain properly and start to function as it should. Until it does, she will not be allowed to eat or drink anything and they will continue to do those uncomfortable procedures to help her stomach drain. Of course, her feeding tube keeps her nourished, but it would be nice for mom to be able to eat food again.
