There are a lot of ways to make stock. If you have a crock pot/slow cooker it's easiest. When I had cancer I couldn't handle touching meat but I had friends with a farm and they would make this for me any time they were processing a chicken or turkey. I usually start with roasting a chicken and then breaking it down. But it doesn't have to be chicken. Beef bones can make the stock thicker though and that's not always desired- though it does add more protein. Put all of the bones and some of the bone meat into crock pot. Add in celery garlic onions mushrooms carrots turmeric salt and a small splash of vinegar (vinegar just helps break up the bones to release more nutrients). I also really like turnips in there. Top with water to about two inches from the top. Cook on low for at least 8 hours. Strain. Serve. You can do all of the same stovetop with a big pot. It's just easier with a crock pot so you don't have to watch it so much. If you can get Miso paste to make miso broth that's also super high protein and healthy to drink when you can't get food down.

Thank you, Easy! I'm going to do this tomorrow. Mom has a Crock-Pot. We also have a instant pot which I've only used three times.
I am going to try to get her eating as much as possible today. She had a horrible night but I made her eat a pudding cup and then I mixed a BeneCalorie into a small glass of Carnation breakfast drink and had her drink that. She's sleeping now but when she wakes up I'll make her eat again. I appreciate your input. I'm going to go with the chicken. Any other suggestions please send them my way. Thanks again! ~W |

If you need to mix medicine into something, applesauce can be a good mix. The dairy might be hard on her stomach right now...

I am in the emergency department with my mother. She began vomiting and must have dislodged the PEG tube because it started leaking.
She's so weak that I had to call 911. |

Update:
We spent over 12 hours in the emergency department yesterday. The doctor on duty didn't feel like my mother qualified to be admitted. The x-rays showed the tube was still in it's proper place. I attempted more than once to explain everything that was going on with her. He discharged her twice. Each time the nurses tried to get her up stomach fluids would flow out of the hole. So much so, that it puddled on the floor. How in the hell was I going to be able to take her home? She was in immense pain. She had not ate anything other than a pudding cup and applesauce for days. Nor had she gotten any sleep. He suggested I put her into a nursing home. Thankfully, the charge nurse made the ultimate decision to keep her. I can't tell you how relieved I was. It sucks that some doctors don't take the time to stop and listen. Or just want to move on to the next patient. I realize the emergency department is usually slammed but my mom is still a human being who is obviously suffering greatly. I will be communicating this to the higher ups. I am getting ready to go back over. I'll fill everyone in once I find out what's going on. Thanks for all the support. It's nice to have all of you and the planet to be able to vent and share with. Thanks to you all. ~W |

Though "empty" the stomach still produces gastric acids, and quite possibly her stoma (site where tube is in) may be "stretched" thus allowing for that leakage. May be suggest a larger size feeding tube? Just my thoughts on that, having dealt with these sorts of issues in past. Does she have a stomal dressing to help stabilize that feeding tube? Just some ideas to mull over with the nurses?! Sends you big hugs & more for your mom!!
