Sympathy liked. ::(: I hope your step father gets help quickly. Any chance that meal replacement shakes like Ensure might help? Still a problem for him I'm sure but it'd maybe be easier to get a reasonable amount of nutrition quickly and less painfully that way?

 

I'm glad the flowers helped at least a little!

 

from what i understand, the problem with Ensure and protien shakes is that they are too thick for him right now, and dairy is iffy because it makes excess mucus or something like that in his throat and makes it even more difficult

 

and they did ^^ thank you. It's so nice of you all

Just a thought - I've used meal replacement shakes in the past.... if you mix a bit too much water with them they become REALLY runny which might help get it down?

 

Also - you can buy protein powders etc in shops with no thickeners added. These mix well with water and are similar to water in thickness

They are mostly whey powder, the runny part of milk leftover from cheese making, and so don't contain the casein and fats that thicken mucus. That is an excellent idea if he can drink water or anything of that consistency. If not he may need a feeding tube placed temporarily, they are a pain to use; I helped feed my grandfather the summer before he died using one and worked the summer before that as a junior volunteer at my local hospital; but it will keep him alive long enough to be seen by the other doctor.

 

I am glad to hear that things are getting better for your mother in law, and will continue to send prayers your family's way.

I don't visit this forum much so had not known what was going on but was wondering why I had not seen you much in other threads I do keep an eye on.

 

Hoping all gets better soon and sending good thoughts/vibes your way from Texas.  Including your number 1 fan who still talks about her artworks from her favorite artist.

Glad the flowers helped, Siri. Knarthex did the planning. We're here to support each other and wanted you to know you're not alone. ::):

 

Thansk a lot everyone, it really does help. I love the community here, and I do lament not spending as much time on the forums as i used to. Or even painting as much as I'd like to be able to. Even my exchange mini was barely finished in time, but it really does mean a lot to just hear hte comments, and plus the flowers. So thanks again, it's immensely appreciated

We're happy that you enjoyed the flowers, you're an amazing person and it was the least we could do for you. Things are hard now but you will get through it, you are such a strong person and it shows in everything you do. I know real life takes you away sometimes, but always remember that we're all here for you to help you get through this. Extra thanks to knarthex to getting this all together to help us show you that we all love you. Hugs and bacon, as always.

Hadn't been on much myself and only just saw all of this. Hope things work out and get better soon. Since clown hugs don't make things better, I won't offer any of those, but perhaps in lieu of those, I can convince my giant lazy cat to offer internet giant lazy cat hugs
