We had a quick paediatrician consultation today to review Raphael after his hospital discharge and to talk about the results from the tests. The tests were all clear btu this still means that we don't realy know what has been giving him the last three high temperatures. We are guessing that it is just cold viruses.
We talked about the possibility of trialling Raphael on oral feeding without using his NGT before we make the current solution more permanent with a G-tube. Our paediatrician doesn't think that it will be successful but is happy for us to try. Her main concern is that the increased volume taken by mouth might result in an aspiration pneumonia and if this happens then we will have to abort the trial.
On another note, even though the latest antibiotics have given him severe diarrhoea, he reached 10.0kg today; Yay!
