Well, I did threaten to take him to the hospital and it seems that it has worked. For the first time he hasn't lost any extra weight (this week) and his metabolism is working too. He even brushed his teeth!! And tries to eat a little.

I don't know what it's like to lose the ability to taste anything and can only imagine how hard it must be to eat something without taste.

I'm off to see the Neurosurgeon. Let's see where my journey takes me.

Thanks again for all of your support. Couldn't have done it without you.
