Thanks to everyone for the input. What a week and its not over yet. I have never met such incompetence in my life.
Monday the tube was put in, but we didn't get to meet the doc beforehand so he was kinda surprised to find out she took blood thinners! I had asked her g.p about stopping them and he said it wasn't necessary, wrong....So, we had to wait for 2 units of frozen plasma to be sent from Toronto to reverse the effects of the coumadin. She has been on a continuous feed since, which is actually going well. Tomorrow they are going for a 6-hour feed and if she tolerates that I get to bring her home on friday, but she has to come to my place for the weekend, because she is getting a pump and they want someone around that can use it (me). Tuesday she will get homecare, but they are just monitoring it, she has to do the feed herself. She also has to take all her meds this way now, they have ordered nothing by mouth, ever again. I don't think anyone in the hospital has read her chart, they keep asking silly questions, like "why are you on so much morphine dear"? they just know she is in for the peg, they don't know anything about her diagnosis. So frustrating...
Marica,
She isn't receiving any treatment now, this is her 3rd occurence and they say she is terminal. They said that in July and things have progressed so rapidly I can't catch my breath
Again thanks guys, it really helps to talk to people that understand.
