I went into John’s room, and his nurse said, “He’s a rebel!”
John pulled out his feeding tube on his own accord.
That’s John. When he’s done, he’s done.
Typically, someone has to come in and do “swallow therapy” with patients to make sure they can swallow without choking before they eat or drink anything. They start out with ice and go from there.
Well, when John pulled his feeding tube out he was drinking water and eating jello within a few hours. No swallow therapy for him! This is one example of his stubbornness working for his benefit in a big way!! I’m so grateful for that hard-head now!! 🙂
He also sat up in a chair for the first time.
I am so proud of my rebel!
