Doctors were able to insert a new drain which is now emptying more infectious fluid from a different area. Dr. Dugas heard a little bit of pnuemonia starting to develop in Papa's right lung. He reminded him to do his breathing exercises and stressed how important they are. They will be doing a scope of his stomach to determine whether or not there may be any obstruction causing his stomach to empty so much into his g-tube. After this assesment they will be able to start progressing his diet which right now consisits only of ice chips.
Correction: Dr. Breaux does not want to irritate the stomach with a scope at this time , so they will be doing a contrast test instead.
