This is Larry's wife as his isn't able to type. He is having a difficult tme with nausea. He's tried 3 different feeds, a Joey pump. He complains constantly about stomach and nausea.
He realized once home from hospital, that the very yellow phlegm comes up after chemo.
He had rad on Mon yesterday machine was down. Back for RAD today.
Does anyone have experience with a Joey Pump? He began hiccuping when pump began and continued until we shut off for sleep at night.
I have to disconnect to give meds and am concerned maybe air gets in. Or should I let his tummy rest before hooking him back up?
I disconnected Pump last night as he gets up and uses bath room by himself and I was concerned he would not be able to handle.
He sometimes gets confused, I believe this is from meds particularly phenergen.
His tongue and mouth is very dry. I give him glycerin swabs, sometime spray with Biotin.
We came home Mon from hospital. He had aspirated and caught pnuemonia.
I am his caregiver. My name is Cherry. He is the love of my life and I want to do my best in caring for him.
Thank you so much for the info you provide. You have also given he and me hope. Larry will go next week for another PET scan.
Thank you again and Merry Christmas to you all.
