Hello, Back To Ya ! Welcome Back and I'm sure that you will note a lot more new faces and a few names that go with those addys. Lung exercise is a must depending on his current condition and the damage, if any, that has been done to his lungs such as scarring. Too many breathing chemicals unless ordered by his doctor may irritate his lungs. Deep breathing exercising may help improve on any damage. His bowels, eh? What does his doctors have to say. If all systems are go and working properly you are going to have to increase his daily activity and that includes exercise, once again, depending on his mobility. With quads, expect no overnight success, but consider increasing his BP to daily. When resistance is down, the body is prime for infection ... any infection. Another consideration is Nature's Way friendly stomach bacteria that is taken in liquid form daily. Keep us informed on your success and stay away from the Clinton Diet. You now know the results of that diet. Best Wishes W In a message dated 9/8/04 4:29:50 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
<< We need help-advice on several things. Gabe had pneumonia this summer for the first time. Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) He went in for a simple procedure and ended up in ICU. The question I have for you all is. While this pneumonia was picked up in the hospital, do you have any advice on prevention.(besides stay out of the hospital) This has been the current plan....Gabe is busy and moving, his suite has a HEPA filter and humidifier with eucalyptus oil in it. A real basic respiratory therapy happens 2 x a day. Anything else? Bowel motility..... The painful swollen gut. complicated by a partial bowel obstruction. Gabe usually has shakes, smoothies or yogurt. Stuff that's easy on the gut. reduce air whenever possible. However a guys got to eat a burger now and then. He uses Miralax, Citrucel and uses a biscodyl mini enema (30cc) 2x aday. The gut still grows. Any ideas? ( We have used fleets basic enema, digital stimulation, bycodyl supp, glycerin supp) Thanks, Lana >>
