He very slowly sips a glass of water that appears to last all day. Our Dr told him to stop with the water and drink Gatorade for example. He also said to go to the ER for IV fluids if needed this weekend.

He would not drink any Gatorade today tho. He didn't eat anything and I told him earlier today that I am doing what I think is right and safe for him and I am sorry that he doesn't agree. He is too weak to argue. The RO did want to see him but my husband didn't want to travel that far (20 minutes). He had to lay the seat flat to travel 6 minutes to our MD.

The Dr mentioned a possible virus, depression etc. I pleaded with him to drink/eat things that might/do leave a 'bad' after taste in his mouth but he won't. I pleaded with him to explain why he won't eat or drink (physically can't do it or what?) He said that he 'can' drink/eat certain things but it leaves a bad after taste. I suggested he use Biotene after...no luck. The RO told him that he has to 'Eat to Live' but he won't. He can actually eat now (couldn't before) but he seems to be saying that if I can't enjoy it then I choose not to eat or drink it.

I wish that he would use the help that is available to him. We have insurance so there is no excuse for this. The RO asked him to talk to the Dietician and he said ok to him but when I mentioned it then he was visibly angry and thought the idea was ridiculous.

He is dehydrated but he also complained to the MD about ear pain (and throat). It was the ear pain or tinging that finally prompted him to find the ENT.

Sorry for so much talking. I don't know what to think or if this is normal and I am overreacting.

Thanks to everyone.
