Feeding Tube Issue
Gerald woke up this morning and his feeding tube was not in placed. So, I literally took it off see if he can manage to drink milk in a straw through out the day. Fortunately, he did well drinking fluids through a straw. Then later tonight, he refused to drink milk. His father cleaned up his tube and showed it to him or more accurate to say is that Ralph gave Garald choices . If he want the tube placed in or drink milk. For the first attempt it works. He picked the milk rather than the feeding tube. When the time came to put Gerald in bed, I told Ralph to feed him before bed so that he wont be hungry later and my plans was to wake him up tomorrow morning to give meds and feed him again, but he refused to drink. Therefore, he got the tube back in his nose. It was not a big deal to put the tube back in his nose, but the uncomfortable sensation when it pass through his throat was his complain. He cried a little bit but that was about it. He did well the whole day anyway. Big improvement every day. Thanks to the Almighty Father in heaven.
