I'm questioning aspiration now and slow gastric emptying.
He keeps getting chest infections and when he's sick he brings up most recent meal plus previous meal. Like today he wouldn't have food through syringe s I tried him with hotdogs as he used to like them.
He had a few bites. Them few bites came out 8 HOURS later!
He's done that a few times.
I'm thinking about asking for referral to gosh.
If I had so many thousands of ££££ I'd pay for it myself.
But that's why we pay stuff like tax and what not.
I live with my parents and they are sick of their Wilton carpet being vomitted on everyday.
I'm defo having laminate flooring when I move out lol.
