Can't drink

27 Apr 2016

Amy drank very little today.  Attempts to give her water were met with lots of gurgling and coughing because she can't swallow very well.  Not surprisingly, since she can't eat or drink she's lost a lot of weight (over 20kg)  She only weighs 42.7 kg (94 pounds) now.  To keep bedsores from forming, we try to change her position every couple of hours and move her legs and arms because she seems to get stiff.  The nystatin drops solved the thrush problem in her mouth, so that is a very good thing.  Alas, we'll take whatever good we can get.
