Small intestine Leak,( Cahlous Ascites)

Small intestine Leak,( Cahlous Ascites)

Grandaughter 15 years old has a small intestine that is leaking fluid into her adomen. Doctors have tried to surgically repair it but it is still leaking, causing fluid to build up in her adomen. Doctors have installed a drain tube to drain fluid and has put her on a liquid diet(TPN and the Octreotide medication )until they can reslove this.
