We went to the GI dr on Monday. What a waste of time and money (the hospital
raised the parking fee). The only thing that came out of this visit was that
Annette should get 12 ounces of Pediasure and 25 ounces of water a day, we need
to add a protein supplement to her feedings, the GI surgeon is the one who
should take care of the bleeding b/c it's the stoma not the stomach, and it
took two hours to come to this conclusion.
I don't remember who, but someone told me to put two 2x2 split gauze pads
around the stoma b/c it might be the pressure from the Benik vest that is
causing the bleeding. Hey, you're right. That took care of the problem. I
guess personal experience trumped the diploma this time. THANK YOU for your
GOOD advice. It worked. Problem solved. Be blessed, you made Annette a happy
girl
Sincerely,
Annette
