He has a feeding tube and is trying to eat, but has no appetite and is sick and tired of being hooked up to the feeding pump. Swallowing is still a challenge - some swelling in the epiglottis still. Any advise/tips/reassurance for appetite return. He has lost 45 lbs since diagnosis. Needs to get strong again and feel like he is getting better. Thanks for any suggestions and/or encouragement. | | |
