Spent the night in the ER.... x-rays show distended bowel (same old loop that's always distended) but because it's not *totally* obstructed, they sent her home on pain meds and clear liquids. Poor kid hasn't been able to tolerate solid food since April, this is getting old.. we're in the old "if we operate on the adhesions, it'll just create more and make it worse" routine.. but this is getting ridiculous. When is enough enough? She's not a candidate for laproscopy because the adhesions are too extensive. I have a call in to the surgeon.
