Eat, Eat, EAT!

As you may be able to tell by today's title, Liv is eating successfully. This morning's labs showed liver enzymes were normal, pancreatitis had subsided. Todays successful meals and snacks have consisted of: yogurt, hard boiled egg, shredded cheese, steamed rice, mac n cheese, apple juice, chocolate milk, froot loops, banana, pears. So you can say shes making up for lost time. Everything has stayed down and Olivia seems to be more satisfied. She is having a few PVCs but they are not making any med changes. Chest tube output really dropped again and thats all good news. We can now add chocolate pudding to the list of treats today too. That was a first and she really enjoyed it.

  1. That is such wonderful news. Livi must be really hungry. I was speaking with Mikey's Mom and she was wondering what medication they had Olivia on that made her liver react that way and made her feel so lethargic. When Mikey came out of the hospital he had to start taking Cumidan, he will be on that until October, plus he takes Analapril daily. We are all so happy to hear that Olivia is starting to perk up, God Bless her, our love to Livi & her amazing family.

  2. Olivias liver is not liking the drug Amiodarone. She was on half of an 81mg aspirin post op and .7 ml of Enalapril. Post op she will be on a whole 81 mg aspirin, coumadin, 1 ml of enalapril and lasix which will be short term. Her fluid restriction will lastanywhere from 4-8 weeks.
