☂️ Day 18 Updates
It's feeding time.
This is all daddy feeds on every 3 hours..
Milk powder (prescribed by the doctor), mixed with some water and sometimes crushed medication..
This process is known as nasogastric (NG) intubation. During NG intubation, doctor or nurse inserted a thin plastic tube through the nostril, down into esophagus, and into daddy's stomach. Once this tube is in place, they (caregiver or nurse) will use it to give him food and medicine.
Sometimes daddy is fine with the NG but most of the time he's uncomfortable with it. There was once he tried to pulled it out.. Mom shared it was approximately 6 inches long.. (The length of the tube that he'd managed to pulled out) 😰
Almost all the time, ever since his diagnosis, daddy wasnt aware of what's going on. He don't even remember where he was.. Or where he is..
And for those who have visited daddy in the hospital, I would say, you're lucky if he remembers you. You'd probably happen to catch him when he's "online"..
Daddy can now recognize mummy, me and my sister. But he have yet to remember my younger brother. It takes time. I hope he can recall of his youngest baby very soon.
🙏✨ *to be continue*
Note: if you think the food you had today was lousy, imagine those patients in the hospital, what they had was a total tasteless and bland. Don't waste food, appreciate the YOU today and the food you ate today ❤️
