OMG!! I am overwhelmed at all the responses! Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! First off is that Daddy has a syringe type plunger that they have us using. I have over the Holiday weekend become a little more adept at using it. (You will not believe how many YouTube videos there are out there on this type of feeding! YIKES!!!) His 2nd chemo is tomorrow along with his 2nd week of radiation as well. I'm waiting to see if we have the same side effects as we had last week before I make any other adjustments to his meds and feedings. So if he gets the chills again we will know it is from the chemo and not from any of his meds. I am STILL at a loss as to how to get more nutrients in him. He fights me every step of the way. This morning he are fairly well. He managed to get a small bowl of soggy Rice Krispies in him and I cut up some small pieces of watermelon and 1/2 an English muffin lightly toasted with some peanut butter. This was amazing to me that he ate most of it. But 2 hrs later when I asked him if we should put some Ensure in him and maybe a little of his juice he said, "NO. I am stuffed full and I am sick of that damn Ensure!" And with that he left the house! He is, obviously, old enough to do what he wants. And quite frankly the nurses, Dr.'s and I have gone over all of this with him on several occasions. I personally think that he is asserting his independence as long as he can until things get worse. Which I can truly understand. Patience...I know! As for the wine Charm...that would be for me!! Daddy has not had a drink in over 35 yrs. He is a recovering alcoholic, so no drinks. My daughter teased him the other day that she could hook him up with some pot! Boy did she get a look from him! So my biggest battle right now is getting more food in him. But I truly think it will come. You are all wonderful and I am so darn Blessed to have your advice! Once again...Thank-you!

God Bless You All,
Susan
