Mom has done fairly well with her clear liquids although she has been getting a little nauseated after she takes her Carafate (the medicine that"s supposed to neutralize the bile in her stomach). Yesterday morning after she took it she threw up quite a lot. When she spoke with Dr Ott yesterday, he agreed since the vomiting was from nausea and not because her stomach was overly full, he was going to allow her to start having regular liquids. This means puddings, applesauce, etc. Also, she is to stop the Carafate and see how that does. She had a "Swirl" from Costco (frozen yogurt) but at just a little more than she should have (she's only supposed to have 1/2 cup at a time every two hours). She could feel it for a while and threw up just a little, but it did eventually drain. She drank a little bit of Ensure this morning and is feeling a little nauseous again.
We've been continuing to have problems with her feeding tube getting clogged. After the incident on Saturday, it seems to clog a little but not totally. This morning, however, it got totally clogged. We've done 2 "clog zapper" treatments and it's just not going. We've got a call in to Dr. Ott. My guess is they will have her come in and replace the tube. It has been more than a month since it was placed, so who knows what gunky stuff has accumulated in it.
Other than that, she seems to be doing well.
We got a lot of the test results back from Dad's physical. He is doing fairly well. His cholesterol is a little high, so Dr. Potter is starting him on thyroid medication. It is supposed to help with the cholesterol as well as several other symptoms he's been having. Dr Potter also suggested adding some fish oil and Vitamin B tablets to his diet. His blood sugar was good, but the diabetes test results were a little high (not quite to the diabetes level, but high enough to do something about it). Dr Potter said if dad eats better like he's been doing this past week, he should be fine. We talked about the pain in his leg and they did an ultrasound of his leg to make sure he didn't have blood clots. That came out clean. The next step is to go to the cardiologist and have a full work up done there.
