Feeds stopped...AGAIN!

Just a quick update on little Lincoln. Feeds were stopped again yesterday... he was having some strange nasty orange stuff coming out of his g-tube area. Apparently when they pulled some fluid out of it they got 10 ml's... he only gets 2 per hour so it sounds like it has been backing up for a while. He made it 7 days this time... the other 2 times he was fed each lasted 9 days before NEC set in.. they did an x-ray last night but did not see anything or could not see anything, not sure which. That is good I guess. This is causing him breathing issues so he was given 'albuterol' i think.. or something that sounds like that (Greg talked to the nurse and relayed it to me...lol). Now I'm worried that this will be a double setback and include breathing problems... he was doing so well with his breathing :(. We will update you all when we find anything new out. Keeping our fingers crossed that this is no big deal and we can continue on, but that's probably wishful thinking!
