ds is 2.5 weeks old and was admitted to hospital on day 16 with a stomach problem. On arrival in a&e he was in shock and needed a lot of fluid, his stomach was extremely swollen and mottled.
After three days in hospital he continures to have spiking temperatures, a painful and distended stomach and now what appears to be a viral rash. He's on four different antibiotics and was on an anti viral until his lumbar puncture results came back clear today. Xrays have shown a small area of thickened bowel but no other issues. Blood cultures have come back clear. He was nil by mouth for 24 hrs and seemed to improve. Last night I was allowed to start feeding again and this morning his stomach was very sore. His team of doctors say its a waiting game. They seem to think its an infection but not sure where. There is also some discussion about cmpa and reflux but as secondary issues.
He had his ptt snipped on day 7 but still can be quiet 'clicky' when my milk lets down.
