Horrible day

Kyle's had one of the worst days since his surgery a little over two weeks ago. Two nights ago we started a very slow infusion of pedialyte. Yesterday we had small amount of leakage around his g tube site, because it was only a little I continued with the pedialyte last night, even though we had an increase in bile we kept going. Today has been a complete nightmare, Kyle's had major leakage around his g tube, mostly bile which is now burning his skin...I've been changing his g tube dressing hourly but it's not helping...the poor kid has been screaming in pain all day.
Clearly we will not continue with the pedialyte night....this is a major setback...again. Watching him scream all day has been beyond painful and exhausting.

It's time for this sweet kid to catch a break.
