They haven't mentioned a nasal feeding tube, which we never even thought about. He is eating some food. It has to be soft enough where he can mash it up to get it down. We feel like you do. Why aren't they pushing for the results? I guess this where the rubber meets the road for our faith in God. Jim has a strong constitution and he's very bone-headed. It's a hereditary thing, not just with him but with his siblings, too. LOL We got it from our parents. lol He's a fighter. He keeps telling me he's not giving up, yet. Now, whether he says that because he thinks that's what I want to hear or not, I don't know. One thing I know, whatever my brother decides to do or not to do, I will support him. I love him. And this is hard to see him going through all of this. He's been one tough cookie all of his life, never afraid to tackle the seemingly impossible. Thanks for just being here for him as well as us, his family. Love to you all, Carol
