Colon Infection

They ran some tests from stool samples yesterday and it turns out Ryan has an infection in his colon. They are going to try to treat this with antibiotics. We will see what happens with this now. They are holding off on his feedings until they reevaluate him tomorrow.

    Hello Creeden family. I was looking online around causes for vomiting and j tube feedings and one common one that popped up was due to acid reflux. Not sure if Ryan is on anything to prevent reflux at the moment.

    I also saw that some people rely on TPN Total parenteral nutrition for feedings when the digestive system is not working properly.

    Here is some info on it

    You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    So far Ryan has fought and recovered from many serious infections. We have no doubt that he will do the same with this latest colon infection.

    As always, our prayers, love and thoughts are with you all.

    Love, Wendy and Joe Demty
