Dad was put on a feeding tube. He has only been getting saline since he was admitted. He's lost weight. He can't even take ice chips. They're afraid he'll asphixiate if they try and give him solid/pureed food.
He's hooked up and is getting Glucerna, a liquid food for diabetics.
Dad's already pulled out the feeding tube twice. His glucose level varies quit a bit now since he is on the Glucerna. The nurses manage it with more insulin.
