Dad met with his gp yesterday and convinced him to remove the ng tube. I must admit that both mom and I are against it at this time. Before yesterday dad hadn't started eating anything, zero, zilch, nada, by mouth and should be easing back into it. I told dad that I'm fine with it if he can get the needed fluids and calories. If by the end of the week if I'm not satisfied we would be having a very serious discussion and heading to the ER to get it put back in. Here's hoping.
