Can't Keep Anything Down

Ben is having a rough day today. He woke up vomitting and hasn't been able to keep anything down all day - food or med's. We can't figure out why either. The doctor thinks he is getting sick from constipation, but I think it has more to do with the pain med's (they have him on Valium and Tylenol with codeine). We have tried EVERYTHING to get him to go the bathroom and so far nothing. In the meantime, we've switched to straight pedialyte and stopped all med's into his stomach. And to help with pain, I am just giving him a regular Children's Tylenol suppository - it isn't much, but I'm hoping it takes the edge off. My mom and I are keeping a close eye on him and suctioning his mouth and trach very frequently whenever he starts to look like he might vomit. So far, we've been able to keep it under control and he has only been gagging every 15 minutes. Ugh, I wish I knew what to do!
