Khan is not making good progress now--he hasn't gained any weight and his liver numbers have not improved--so they have just started him on steroids. I keep wondering, where is all this food that we are pumping in (via the food tube) going? He is using the litter box regularly, but I would have expected some weight gain after going from no food to about 1-1/2 cans per day. It's a mystery to me. But he is at least holding steady and getting no worse, so hopefully the steroids will jump start his liver and we'll see some improvements. If we don't see improvements by after Christmas, I don't think I will be as hopeful about a recovery.
We have all hit a low point right now that we have to get through. He is tired of the tube feedings and medications, we are tired of the tube feedings and medications. He is fighting to escape every time now, which makes the feedings very stressful for all of us. Mark and I are now sharing the tube feeding chore, which helps. Just seeing a little progress soon would help to reenergize us, I'm certain.
