Hello Everyone
I don't know what to report tonight, Andrea had a fairly good day I guess. I reported last night that her feeding tube had been pulled out enough so it is in her stomach. Well so far so good, her feeds were started at 10 cc/hour and she has tolerated that quite well, every 6 hours they have been increased 10 cc/hour so now she is on 50 cc/hour, 65cc/hour is where she was before and is the goal again. After she has proved she can tolerate that for a few days they will begin bolus feeding her during the day so they can shut it off during the night. Tonight Faye went to the nearby Sobey's and picked up a potato and cheese casserole, and a chicken dish. Andrea had a few bites of potato and cheese casserole and said it tasted good to her. Her stomach will have to stretch and get used to food again, she has not eaten anything significant since last fall. Today she took a few steps in the gym between the parallel bars with help. Sure takes a lot out of her. Until next time.
Goodnight, Maynard
