Pukie pukie puke2
I haven’t posted too much lately on here about the puking situation, mostly because it’s been significantly improved over the past year or so. For the past 6 months we’ve often gone a whole week at a time without a vomit.
This week has been bad, though. Three days in a row of pukes. Today’s was the worst, as I’d taken her upstairs and I really didn’t want her to throw up on her bed or her bedroom carpet before she’d ever actually gotten to spend the night using either. So I ended up racing her downstairs with her in my arms and the puke cradled between us.
It was gross.
After removing her clothes and half of my own, I cleaned her up, but we ended up changing the trach once dad got home just so I could clean her neck underneath it (naturally, it all pooled in and around her neck.)
About a week and a half ago we upped her intake of goat kefir, and I’m wondering if that’s finally starting to catch up with her. If that’s the case, then we may have hit a wall in our efforts to get completely off the Neocate. We’ll see how the next week or so goes.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the puking is just an aberration and you can still get Dorrie off of Neocate.
