HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Well, what an interesting last 2 days this has been. First off we are HOME!!! Yeah. Lauren did well with her feeds and is back up to her home routine, except the pureed. We are holding off on those, maybe tomorrow we will start out slow. Last night they started her on Naproxen for the pain and another med to keep her bowels awake and moving. They aren't really clear on what caused this. Maybe a virus, a partial blockage that resolved itself or maybe the intestines fell asleep and slowed everything down for awhile, which would certainly make her sick. Or it could be from the collar bone pain. I guess we will never really know, but at least she is better and at home.

Now, about the collar bone. Her regular Ortho-surgeon that is doing the tendon surgery came by and read the xray himself from Fridays E.R. visit. The collar bone is NOT broken, it is merely dislocated. Ouch~it would still cause lots of pain. So the doctor that read it on Friday was obviously not trained to well in collar bone/growth plates. First of all, Lauren does not have a growth plate anymore, she is too old, it has already closed!!! So anyway, she does not need surgery on it nor do they put it back in place. It is a bone that heals itself with time. She just needs to be kept comfy with meds and not move it too much. So this was all a relief. Her surgery is still on for Wednesday the 11th. Please pray for her tummy to stay well and her pain to get better. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers!!!
