NPO means nothing in the stomach, so I meant including not feeding her by tube.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1611/52252024-06-27T10:17:53ZSursumCorda<p>I hope for her sake that includes popsicles. At least once that aren't red or orange.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1611/52242024-06-27T08:25:44ZJoyful<p>For Grace, NPO includes tube feeds. They updated her orders to clear liquids.
