Prayers for snugs and Bryan, that he meets this challenge and is returned to health.
Snugs has represented the very best of FR, especially commendable since our Cheney Chick is from the UK. Bless you, snugs.
Little better report today from yesterday. It now seems almost certain that the aspiration was from the feeding tube.
They have reinserted a new one, xrayed and checked that it is in stomach with litmus paper and listened that there are stomach noises and the night staff will put the feed up.
I will ring later to check that it has been done.
He slept until about 7.00pm when they then sat him up and tried sips of water but really he was too tired and coughed a lot personally I thought it was silly to push that too much with him being tired as there was a chance he might aspirate again.
Anyhow they are satisfied that the swallow is OK but he is just too tired to do it efficiently at present.
Apart from the his stats remained stable apart from the temperature which as usual does spike over a 12 hour day.
The chest infection seems to be rescinding and I think he is stronger in himself and can hold his position in the bed better.
Prayers requested that the lungs can clear whatever food or liquid aspirated and that the chest infection clears up completely.
Once again many thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.
