Yes, Brenna Girl is Home Sweet Home!
Fortunately, I think the deciding factor for all of her symptoms last night ended up being her dangerously low blood sugar (for those of you in the medical field, it was 21...though that number doesn't mean anything to me, we're told that it's supposed to be in the 50s.) Once the staff began pumping her full of sugar, she perked up right away and even drank about 3 oz. of pedialyte on her own.
This morning, we began using Brenna's new feeding tube! We're sticking with 2-oz. feedings for today, and then increasing to 3 ounces tomorrow before we continue our upward trend.
Currently she is very puffy, especially her legs and feet, due to the crazy amount of fluids she received post-surgery, and she does seem a bit uncomfortable if the Tylenol wears off...so right now we're just trying to keep her as comfortable as possible while she heals from this whole ordeal.
Hopefully the weekend will be non-eventful as we get adjusted to using her new g-tube!
so glad she's home after that scare :) praying she transitions easily!

ReplyDeleteSo glad that your sweet Brenna is home! Praise God!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all and keep you safe and content this weekend, in his loving arms. I'm an adult and I remember when my blood sugar was at 55 - I drove to the doctor's office and they told me I shouldn't have been driving - that I was close to hypoglycemic coma, whatever that is. I felt HORRIBLE!!! So, I concur. Now when I have procedures I don't get glucose prior to - I was told to not do that. I don't exactly know why, but I think it is because I get so little exposure to sugar by choice, that when I do get it, right directly into my bloodstream, it really whallops me later with hypoglycemia. Prayers headed your way!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for all of you this weekend, with this new endeavor. Take it a day - hour - minute at a time!
ReplyDeleteMore prayers coming your way tonight. Lots of prayers from church today. God bless you all!
