I'm very busy now as one of my mom's caregiver. I change her diaper, I give her sponge bath, I change her clothing, sometimes I need to inject the medicines in her IV tube.
So here is her real problem according to the doctor: Intestinal failure from complete gut obstruction secondary to multiple intraabdominal tumors ( recurrence+mets) carcinomatosis, adhesions
I need to drain her NGT (nasogastric tube) to remove the fluid in her stomach. She also has JP (Jackson- Pratt) drain.
We are still expecting miracle that her intestinal failure will get resolve.
For now she needs to feed on IV MILK which cost 4,000 per bag as you see in the picture and is good for 36 hours.
It's hard but we are coping with these changes in our daily life.

At first I thought I cannot do it but now I'm getting used to it. I have to be strong for her

I hope she is getting over it sooner or later. God's miracle will fall on her.
