Today brought a little scare for my family. As you may know, Dad has been throwing up daily for about a week to two weeks. Sometimes it is more than once. When he went to the dr this past Friday, mom and dad talked to the dr about it. In addition, he has been feeling really full and not wanting to eat much. So we thought his feeding tube had moved back into the small intestine like it did a couple weeks ago. So the dr ordered an x-ray on it and scheduled for this past Monday.
This morning, we got the results. His feeding tube had moved up towards the bottom part of the esophagus which would cause he to throw up. So he could not eat or drink the rest of the morning.
This afternoon, MDA was going to move the tube back where it goes. After using a machine that is like an x-ray, the drs said his tube was in the right place. After inserting contrast through the feeding tube, everything looked good. They did another contrast while dad was in a different laying position. All was good. So he did not have anything done.
The drs are baffled on why dad is throwing up so much. He has been taking his meds as a liquid form. We are going to go back to the pill form and see if it stops.
Say a prayer that he gets feeling better. He does not have much energy and really feels horrible. Thanks all for everything.
