Last night we found out that Andrew has another infection in his blood.  Therefore we are needing to start another round of antibiotics.  His feeding tube was not able to get unclogged with coke or warm water, or even a wire so it was replaced.  We also met with a specialist to discuss his digestive tract issues. The doctor listened to his stomach and bowels and said that they were not moving and that your bowels should always be moving.  He told me about some possibilities of the reasons and that we would be having a lot of blood tests run this morning to figure it out.

So this morning Andrew threw up twice within a matter of hours and it was all that he had eaten two days ago (jr mints, chips, and a popsicle).  After meeting with the dr, it was decided that he is not ready to leave the hospital with the continued vomiting, diarrhea and the infection, and him still not feeling well.  She said that Andrew is not able to digest food in his stomach so we should not be pushing for him to eat anything, and there is a possibility we need to put a tube in his stomach to empty out the acids regularly since it will not empty unless he throws up.  I will update again with I have more news.
