Nelie,

Thank you!

I am now finding out about the Dana Farber comment- it seems that they say there wasn't time because they wanted to insert the feeding tube immediately to try to fatten her up asap. So it may have been my sister's choice to go with the immediate admittance to Umass and I guess stay with them-I am going up there this weekend to get straight to the source instead of he said/she said etc...I know they want her on more than 2000 cal a day but the exact number I'm not sure.

So much too learn!!!

Be Well

Sarah
