We got to the hospital about 2:00 this afternoon. Zane hasn't eaten since last night around 6:30. He did pretty well the first half of the day all things considered, but did start vomiting this evening. He had vomited 3 times before going to bed tonight. They are testing his ketones each time he urinates. He is already in the appropriate range for ketosis. They are also testing his blood sugar to make sure it doesn't drop too low. It was 60 when they last checked and they will keep testing every 6 hours. I guess the minimum they want it to go is 40. He was in pretty good spirits but was easily frustrated if things weren't going his way. Tomorrow he will eat, beginning with breakfast. His meals will be 1/3 of what they will be on the diet. So it really won't amount to much. Wednesday he will receive 2/3 of what his diet will allow. The dietician brought us some information about the diet and lists of foods. I plan to work with her on Wednesday setting up a handful of meal plans for Zane.
For anyone interested in visiting or calling Zane's room you can find pertinent info here. He is at Scott and White in Temple. He is in room 467 which is on the 4th floor of the South Tower. We expect him to be released Thursday afternoon.
I'll update as much as possible throughout the week. Love to you all!
