Rough few weeks!

Update posted by Natasha Lynch

Hi everyone, its been a rough few weeks. I was admitted to hospital for 2 long weeks. I had problems with my liver, and cant tolerate anything into my stomach, even meds make me feel terrible and have a very sore tummy. Theyve determined this is just progression of my illness and is something called gastroparesis. I had a different feeding tube fitted called an naso-jenunal tube (NJ tube), but unfortunately it failed and was already linked into my stomach, so I'm awaiting a new one to be put in. I am currently coping with very little nutrition and fluids so hoping the NJ tube gets replaced soon.

During my time in hospital I also developed an infection and spiked a very high fever, it turns out my central line (portacath) is infected with a staphlycoccus bacteria 😔 however with some strong oral and IV antibiotics we're hopeful we can save my port and not need to remove it.


That's all for now (I think!), again thank you for your continued support!
