Holiday Troubles

A few days after Christmas Anniek had pains in her tummy and said it really hurt and I touched it and she was in pain so off to the Emergency room we went because of course it was a weekend. They just felt Anniek's tummy and decided it was nothing and sent her home, the next day (New Years eve) we had to bring her back to the Emergency room as she was no longer keeping food down and her tummy was kind of stiff.  So they did x-rays and she was backed up as much as she could be, they tried to get an IV and couldn't get one so they used her G-tube for 4 hours of PEG and gave her an enema, which didn't work well at all, hardly anything came out.  So they told me to give her PEG 100 mL/hour for 8 hours a day until she did a good poop, then give her 15 mL/meal every day.  They also did a referral to see the GI doctor for her problem.  The next day (January 1st) we once again had to go to the Emergency room and she has a UTI infection.  All I was hoping was that Anniek would not be admitted to the hospital for her Birthday (January 2nd)
