Big, big, BIG prayers needed for Allie- UPDATE on #148

[katladyd]

C'mon Allie, eat! You are going to be getting really good treats, the kind you only get if you are very, very, good. Enjoy them and all the attention you will be getting. Prayers are still being said, of course.

C'mon Allie, we're all rooting for you to be a hungry little girl!!

Eat up and come home feeling better!

Allie didn't eat any of the goodies. I brought her fave snacks, liver, chicken and fish- all refused. She seemed much worse today than yesterday am. I am still waiting on the doctor to call- its after 2 oclock here! I called at noon to make sure she was still in the clinic.

If its possible, I would like to bring her home today and see if being at home would make her eat. I am really feeling down, and have this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Ten minutes later:

I couldn't handle it, and I called- again. Allie made the executive decision that the nasal tube needed to be removed. They are now seeing if, without that irritant, she will eat. They also took off the e-collar. I am betting that she won't eat. I can bring her home after 5. But, I have some re-configuring still to do. So, I will leave here shortly, fix things up, collect J and go get her.

Please pray that Allie will eat at home!!! <sigh>

Dearest Allie, prayers for you that you will eat when you get back home.

Prayers that Allie eats once she is home with you - she is likely pretty scared.

HUGS to you and Allie.

Will they let her go home before she poops?

When people have surgery on their intestines, normally they have to at least pass gas before going home - to make sure everything is truly open down there.

Grace,
It is likely that Allie hadn't eaten in 2 weeks before surgery. She hasn't had food since surgery. It might be some time before my girl poops, and not eating at all only delays it.
