Lsura, keep encouraging your husband to use the feeding tube as a tool to help him get thru this. If you dont have a pump ask for one. This way you can do the feedings like Angie's caregiver did. Everything they went to sleep she hooked up the feeding pump and let it run.
I hope your husband is beginning to take more in so he feels a little better. Try printing out all these responses and showing them to him. He will realize he is not alone and we have given tips on how to help him get thru this.
