Ricky's needs - update #1,


(This is very hard for me to do......ask for help. I've always done everything myself, on my own. And I can't with this. I realize that.)
I also know people want to help and this way you'll know the things we will always need!

•Briefs, not underwear with elastic but briefs like diapers.

• Pads to go underneath him, constantly need those.

• Baby wipes I have found out I can't have enough of them.

• Diaper rash cream

 • Bottled water as I go through a lot because that's what I put in him the most. Remember he still has his feeding tube.
Medicaid won't pay for the food...
 • It's called 2 cal and he's also on  • Juven. Both are over the counter but not many people carry it.
Since Medicaid won't cover the food it will cost me around $400 a month to feed him.
So I need all of the 2 cal
And Juven I can get!! Juven is made by ensure just kept behind the counter. 2 cal might have to be ordered.
This will go one for at least five more months ....I'll have to feed him through his stomach tube .

• Laundry detergent ... I just buy that arm and hammer sensitive skin for Ricky. I have to do at least two loads of laundry a day.
 • Bandages
 •Gauze
 •Medical tape
 •Sterile gloves
 •And twin flat sheets.

I Might have to update this as I go along but these are the supplies I need for now.
Many many thanks!!! XOXOXO
Jill

Additional needs:

• As many sterile gloves that I can get. I can't count how many we go through in one day!

  1. No particular size with the briefs I can make any of them work as he's on the smaller side ;)
    I like the ones like diapers that tape together so to speak but as I said i can always tear the elastic sides if there are no briefs.
    So ANY size we can use and it would be helpful! xoxoxo
