Today we went to see Dr. Schulman, Kaitlyn's surgeon, to see how her G-Tube and incisions are healing. He didn't like the way the tube looked. It was moving around more than it should so he took it out and put in a different tube and had us get an xray of Kaitlyn's stomach to make sure the new tube is placed correctly and there isn't any leaking.

Kaitlyn still isn't eating much by mouth, we aren't quite sure why. This afternoon it seemed as though she has had some pain from changing out the tube. She also started to get a fever. A nasty virus has been going around and we really hope that she doesn't have it. Viruses cause her platelet count to drop dramatically and could cause her to end up in the hospital. We are hoping it is just from switching out the tubes. If she still has a fever tomorrow I will be calling the surgeon and then the hemotologist to have her counts checked.
