The past two days have been hard. Carter is still dealing with pain and has now started vomiting at least every two hours. He is absolutely exhausted. Yesterday we thought his NG tube, that is keeping his stomach decompressed may be the problem. Carter stomach is so small, we thought the NG tube may have been too much for it to handle. We pulled the NG tube out and Carter perked up (opened his eyes and sat up in bed). It only lasted for about two hours, then Carter started vomiting and his NG tube had to be reinserted. It is still draining a lot and Carter has vomited multiple times even with the NG tube. Carter's heart rate has been running higher than normal and he has kept a low grade fever, although his blood work and all of the other tests have come back pretty much normal. We have no idea what's going on with him, but I know something is not right. We are praying all of this will soon subside and Carter will be able to get some much needed peace and rest!
My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. (Exodus 33:14)
This is an attempt to give our family and friends a glimpse of our baby Carter's llife. I hope this will help you better understand O.E.I.S complex (Cloacal Exstrophy). Carter is a true blessing and God has a special plan for him.
