Hi Everyone,
My dad is not doing to good since he got his peg tube last month it was really tough to get back up on his feet. He just seemed to be getting there and now he has such a flem build up on his chest he just coughs & coughs. We have been to the hospital to make sure it isn't phenmouna and they say it isn't but gave him an antibiotic in hopes to cear up the flem. They also decided it was time for oxygen at home so yesterday was not a great day. This morning he is complaning about how weak he is and how he feel so funny does anyone have and suggestions on what I can give him to help with his energy level? He doesn't even want to get out of bed to go to the washroom, and this is so out of character for my father I think it is playing more of a mental tole on him more than anything......Thanks for listening it feels good to talk a bit sorry any input would be great.
Thanks,
Wendy
