Ben's pegj is in. It was a bit of a performance intially as there was a debate about giving him IV steroids as he'd been on such a long course. Following argument as to who would give it he had 50mg prior to the insertion.
The tube is thicker and longer than I was expecting and heavier. He is not too happy at the moment! He got quite dehydrated from fasting, a temp and it being hot on the ward so when we got home last night we just put water in the j.
This morning he's had 20 mls for 4 hours and we've given him a break for a sleep. He is in a lot of pain so having paracetamol and codeine.
He takes a while to get over things so am not suprised he has refused to stand up so far.
Thanks for your support and advice.
Love Helen
