Early last night Avalynn's bowel sounds have stopped. No food or medication can be absorbed. We are looking at other delivery methods for the medications, especially morphine, but will most likely do a subcutaneous line. There is a very small chance medication can restart the bowel. Most likely though, we are saying good bye to our angel in the next few days or week. She is hurting & anxious & in respiratory distress. She couldn't sleep because of it over night, but has finally fallen asleep out of exhaustion this morning. I hope She sleeps until we get her pain meds, as it's the most relief available at the moment. We will not be leaving the hospital, as she can't receive the medication subcutaneously, without being here. We have prayed and given her a blessing of healing and comfort. Our hearts are breaking. This is, however, a sacred & private time. May angels surround us & May God hold us in the hallow of his hand.
