On Monday Patricia took Eli in for his clinic appointment. Things have been going fairly well at home so we were looking forward to getting some test results back to confirm his progress. Overall, his appointment went well but we have a couple issues to deal with. Specifically, the site where the G-tube comes out of his belly is growing. They call this a granuloma. Eli had an umbilical granuloma which we had treated with silver nitrate. They recommend we have the granuloma site treated to stop the tissue growth. They also think we need to get a button put on the G-tube. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but we have to put Eli under anesthesia to perform the procedure. He didn't recover very well when we had the original procedure done so we're a little worried about this.
Eli's CO2 levels have been really good lately. He's even dropped down into the high 40's on a few of his tests so it's nice to see a little progress on this issue.
