You know how they tell you in school that math is important and you'll use it for the rest of your life? And you know how you blow that off? Well, math rescued my nerves today! It turns out that Chuck is receiving 1,560 calories with the tube feeding! (The dietician brought her handy calculator today. I got confused with the 50mL per hour and the number of calories in 50 mL ... and the whole multiply by 24 ... good grief.) Whew, I feel relieved ... even if Chuck does not eat a thing, he's getting the nourishment he needs. They ran a pre-albumin (protein) test this morning, and Chuck's in the healthy range! Thank you, God. I know Chuck's praising God because now I will stop harassing him about eating.
