How many times have we changed Kara's NG tube?
Including yesterday morning, at a friend's house on the way to a doctor's appt (thanks for helping and for watching Connor and Katie, Megan!!)
- 8 times in 2 months. This does not include the times we've simply "put it back in" after being pulled out (if the facial tape still has good adhesion).
How many ketchup packets does it take for Connor and Meg to share a small Burger King french fry? (Hint: it's the same as the # of times Connor dips a single fry into the ketchup).
-8 ketchup packets. Jeremy went to Burger Master while we were at Children's, got his burger and condiments, sat down and realized... he got probably 3x the ketchup he needed because he's used to getting ketchup for both of us since we've been married.
How many times do we use a syringe to put different liquids (not milk) in Kara's NG tube each day?
- 12 times. 7 syringes of water (1 after each feed). 2 doses of Renitadin. 2 doses of prune juice (beats suppositories!). 1 dose of poly-vi-sol... oh yeah! NG tube bonus! Not in the mouth =) But it does still get spit up occasionally.... =| Technically when we give a med we're supposed to "flush" with water before and after, so we should be giving even more than that. Just a "day in the life"
