“”We Will Miss You Buddy””

Barb and Peggy said “Carlos, you need to stay at the “In This Life” House forever. We refuse to feed you intravenously. You needed DBS to make you calmer and prevent your asperation. We are done getting hit period. ” Carlos said “I was doing that on purpose. I don’t like eating orally. ” Peggy said “I don’t do feeding tubes Barb. ” Barb said “I don’t either. Me and my sister, Ann, tried one for my dad before he moved to Sunshine Place and it didn’t work. “

Barb said “I was having to go over to my parents’ house to do his feedings because their caregiver, Ellen, didn’t keep up with his schedule of them. That’s when me and my sister, Rose, decided it was time for him and mom to go into assisted living. He was complaining about being cold because his shirt had to be up all the time. ” Carlos said “I don’t care. ” She said “Okay. I will suck it up. We want you to be comfortable. ”

Carlos said “Thank you guys. ” Royce, 1 of the aides, said “You need to be comfortable buddy. ” Barb said “Whatever. I don’t care anymore. ” She got back over to the group home side. She said to Peggy disgustedly “Carlos wants to be tube fed. ” Peggy said “So what? He needs to be comfortable Barb. ” She said “I don’t believe in that. “

Peggy started crying. She said “I would miss him too much. ” Barb said angrily “I want him gone!” She said “No way. ” Peggy said “Attention all parents. Tonight besides the instructors you are in charge of activities. I have an all-evening meeting with all the caregivers. Attention all caregivers, whenever you and your client are done with dinner come down to the west room. I want to talk with you. ” All the caregivers went to the west room. Peggy said “I want all our clients to get whatever they want. I want them to have unlimited eating time. Bethy leaves the dining room and kitchen opened 24/7 for them, parents and us staff to get snacks and drinks. “

Peggy said “Bethy is in the kitchen 7am-8pm. Meals are served in a certain amount of time but that is because she needs to get ready for the next one. Food is allowed to leave the dining room on a plate or in a to-go container, whatever you desire. ” Barb raised her hand and said “I don’t believe in that, I quit. ” Everyone else said “We believe in that totally. Nobody should ever feel rushed eating. ” Peggy said “Good deal. ”
