So the pain pump worked amazing for Mia last night. She gets pain meds every hour and then I can also give her more as needed. She's definitely more comfortable now that her pain is under control. They have the bacteria type this morning and are working on the antibiotics to treat her. She also had an ultrasound last night and everything looked good despite the area getting worse. We will attempt to put the feeding tube in this morning and if she doesn't tolerate it they will order nutrition to put directly through her line and then try again tomorrow. I haven't heard anything about replacing her port yet, the nurse said that it wasn't even discussed during rounds so I'm hoping that's a good sign that it can stay in place!
