No paracentesis. We just returned from the ultrasound and there's not enough fluid in Tess' abdomen to drain. We haven't seen our regular doctor to confirm the approach going forward, but I'll post that as soon as we hear. I believe it'll be just waiting for Tess' bowels to get moving on their own.
One additional bit of information: We hope to get Tess' NG tube removed tomorrow to see if she's up for eating on her own. If not tomorrow, then the docs seem optimistic that it'll be Saturday.
so happy to hear the great news! such wonderful news! little Tess is a trooper. praying you guys get some much needed rest tonight. xoxo tia and tio in NJ.
