i went thru this with my grandfather. he was on Ensure while he was in the hospital. he pulled out his feeding tube and iv’s when I was called to his room (I worked for security at the hospital) to help with an unruly patient. I got there and he said take me home. the doctor came in and said “i’d do what he says. every one of those scars he has he got from a fight”. he was back on solid food and even had a few sips of 151 overproof rum on occasion.
be strong dale. you have to be, for mom. we were able to get thru it for my grandmother, so I know you can.
