Mia's feeds stopped last night because the doctors were not happy with the color of her residual (the stuff left in her stomach after a feed). As a result, they did an xray on her abdomen. Everything looked fine, but they noticed a possible inflammation of her pelvic bone. The doctors believe she might have an infection of the bone. On Friday they are going to run a bone scan to verify for sure. The good news is that if it is an infection, the antibiotics she is on right now will be the ones they continue to use for the bone infection, the bad news is she'll have to have them for about 6 weeks.
On a positive note though, they started her on her feeds again today and she has been processing them just fine. We believe that her feeds stopped last night because God needed the doctors to do an xray of her abdomen area to notice the pelvic bone. We continue to trust in His care over the situation.
Tomorrow they want to put a PICC line in Mia. It is similar to the central line she had that got infected, but it goes through a vein in one of her hands or feet. The nurses have a hard time getting IV's in Mia, so pray that the doctors will be successful with the PICC line.
