The RO did tell him that it was not prevention.

We were going for IV fluids but he won't do that now plus he won't let me call the doctor or the dietician. He thinks they can't do anything to help him. I said they could do a nasal feeding tube and he made it clear that he would never do that (in a not so nice way so I left the house for a few hours). He did one Benecal in applesauce (few days ago) and said it is gross so that is done.

He was light headed last night and got sick today. I have tried to explain to him about the proper nutrition/protein/fluids etc. He told the RO this week that Ensure was gross and the RO told him that he needed to try to ignore the bad taste and drink it anyway and that he had to eat to live. The RO did not change his opinion/mindset at all.

He does have a RO appt on Monday morning and hopefully this RO can talk to him.
