apparently.
she's a little better today. i feel a little sick to my stomach suddenly...she was wearing her new jeans which are a levi, size 4. Yesterday they fit her a little on the tighter side, today they looked loose. She wasn't able to eat or drink last night due to pain. I just know that they are probably going to put her ng tube back in. I was surprised that they didn't replace it last week. She will be devastated, but honestly to me it would be a peace of mind, knowing that she was getting all that she needed during this time. I'm not going to say anything to her, I just made her cry last week when I was pushing her to drink the ensure plus. She is getting about 4 of them a day in most days, but she is still so very hungry.
I really thought that when she had the brachy done it would have been so much easier and she would have been much further by now. I guess I didn't take into account the trach and left neck dissection.
