Update!

Stephanie is doing a lot better. She is home in Logan now. They found out that she has Helicobacter pylori or in short H-pylori. It is a stomach bacteria that she thought she got rid of a year ago. With the Hyperemesis Gravidarum that she has with her pregnancy and the H-pylori combined it has caused the extreme vomiting and excruciating stomach pain. They have been giving her a couple different antibiotics and they seem to be helping the stomach pain a lot. However, one of the antibiotics is very thick and we have to put them through her feeding tube. We have to water it down a lot but it still clogged her tube 5 times in the last 8 days and each time she had to get a new feeding tube. Her poor nose and throat were just bleeding all day Monday because of all the trauma caused from the new tubes. We talked with the doctors and they have taken her off that particular antibiotic for the time being. With the stomach pain decreasing it has also helped the nausea a little. She is still in pain, but it is bearable. She still has nausea, but it is also bearable. We are hoping that she will be able to hold down liquids soon and then we will start on food. Yesterday she had some ice-chips and did not throw them up so we are hopeful. We had an ultrasound yesterday and now we are 100% certain. It IS A BOY!! WU HUUUUUUUUU!
