Withdrawal
Adela is doing well according to the doctors. However as they are trying to wean her off her drugs she is having some withdrawal that they are managing. She gets restless and confused. Hopefully the worst will pass in the next day or so as she adjust to not being on the fentanyl and just on her “milder” drugs and then they’ll work backwards on those. She is going in at 2:30 for a GI study. They put some barium chalk in through her g-tube and watch it for a little while to make sure her reflux hasn’t been a sign of a more serious problem. I don’t know that it’ll show anything, but I understand they want to check before they restart her feeds at a higher level. Especially after the original throwing up incident.

My husband and I are longtime friends of Becton and Netta and am delighted to learn about this blog as I’ve been calling his office for updates. We and our church have been praying for Adela (and her caring family) during this episode and will continue to do so. I’m thrilled to hear about her improvements and pray they will continue. May you continue to be blessed each day!

I hope the test went well today. I pray that she will be able to go up on her feedings.
