Preventative Maintenance

Daryl ventured out yesterday to get a  spa mani/pedi from our good friends at Kay’s Nails. The ladies love him there and I think he gets better treatment than me!   This was his first adventure out of the house since having his g-tube on Sept 7th.   We definitely need to work on his ADL’s ( nursing term for activities of daily living).

We have had a few challenges since the tube,  getting everything regulated. Fingers crossed, things have been working well for the last few days.  Feedings 3x per day, plus able to give some of his meds via tube.  He is also eating  jello, pudding, Italian ice and occasionally some sips of vino!

Tomorrow we see one of the potential surgeons and have an appointment  on Oct 3rd with the other potential surgeon. Very excited to see them both, to keep this train moving down the track!

Goal: Nutrition – increase to 1.5 cans 3x day plus anything he wants to eat!  ADL’s- short walks everyday to increase strength. Pain maintain current plan that working!
