It is such a relief to Larry to not be vomiting. After a month of it, he still carries his bucket around because he does not know how to interpret all the upset he feels within his body. The only time he feels a bit better is after a IV hydration. I would give it to him everyday if I could.
I am still struggling with the stomach tube drainage. I now have a routine down but the problem is now mental. He drinks something then a few hours later I drain it out. He eats a pudding or jello and then I see it drain out of him. I feel that every time I drain his stomach I am draining out his nutrition. Why isn't more going down. Why does it seem he still has a blockage and it all just stays in his stomach?
The Dr. did feel that he would get some nutrition but was unsure how much. Larry looks so malnourished. His statement of his starving to death is accurate. It is not just the cancer and it spreading to his organs.
He has not been able to eat for over a month and his body is emaciated.
He has often said that he is on the same 40 day fast as Jesus. However, Jesus survived his fasting.
