Please say a prayer or positive thoughts for my DH - Page 17 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thanks all. They gave Ken Nystatin mouth rinse for the thrush so hopefully he will get some relief soon. I see him going down hill more each day. I am praying he can get the thrush under control and start eating better. My BIL is getting some pain relief finally and they feel with the radiation and injections he should do well for quite awhile. Every time I feel like down I come here and your posts lift me up again.

Continually praying for you and Ken. Patti, please take care of yourself, you are a itty bitty frame already and stress can really do a deduction on a persons weight, don't want you to get down, please be sure to eat and take care of yourself.

Praying they can get the thrush healed so Ken can start eating, and that the treatments will free his body from this ugly ugly disease.
We are sending big hug to you Patti from the both of us.

Patti, hope you and Ken were able to rest up on the weekend, and hope he's able to get some nutrition in.

You guys are on my mind all the time, and remain in my prayers all the time.

Micah my love · 09-20-2011, 04:29 AM

Thinking of you both and praying that things get better soon, big hugs to you

Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers...

Just thinking... another great liquid product by prescription is Jevity (Abbott Laboratories )... I swear it saved my DD's life... where the Magic Cups are a great supplement for folks that are still eating, Jevity is a full meal replacement, and it contains prebiotics to help maintain and restore gut flora damaged by antibiotics or disease.

My DD's weight had dropped to 60 pounds, she looked like a victim of the Holocaust, but on the Jevity (fed through a stomach tube) within 2-3 months she gained and now maintains close to 100 pounds, and is looking all fat and sassy... PTL.

And a tip... do not drink soda pop with any liquid supplements like Ensure or Jevity in the same day... it will curdle in the stomach and cause vomiting.

Hey Patti. I know it's easy to forget but please remember to take care of yourself. You also need to be healthy and strong to help Ken get better. We are always here to lend some support in any which way we can. Tell him that we are all rooting for him. Prayers and hugs to you and your family. Sorry about your bil too. It will all come back good ten fold.

Hugs, Roni and Ahi~

Patti, I just wanted to stop by your thread and say hello. You and Ken are in my daily thoughts and prayers.

Patti · 09-23-2011, 02:57 PM

Thanks. Ken is not doing as well. Since they cut his dose of prednisone in half his breathing has gotten bad again. They gave him a new medicine for the Thrush but it is still just as bad. He lost another pound in 4 days. We met with a nutritionist yesterday and she explained the importance of eating more calories and protein. She seemed to make an impression on Ken and he has agreed to try more foods (he eats very limited types of food). He has 4 more days of radiation and then a week off and then he starts chemo. The nutritionist wants him to gain some weight before starting chemo. We appreciate the prayers!

gidget529 · 09-23-2011, 05:45 PM

Sorry to hear Ken is having a time of it right now. I had thrush years ago and HATED it. It really does make you not want to eat. When I had it, my dr told me not to eat any bread or cake as they contain a good bit of yeast (and that's what thrush is). It did help to cut bread out of my diet.

We will continue to pray for Ken (and you).

AllDogBoots · 09-23-2011, 06:51 PM

I'm so sorry things are not going as well as hoped for. You and Ken are always in my prayers.

Valenie · 09-23-2011, 06:53 PM

It's a long rough road and Im so sorry he is not feeling as well as he could be. Please stay strong you guys are always in our thoughts and prayers!!!
