The same thing happened to my dad at the nursing facility he was in. I would still like to sue there asses off. He wasn't well treated and didn't get fed at all - in two months he lost about 50 lbs. And this was with me and my step mom visiting daily and feeding him. At one point he almost died - I found him in a diabetic coma, and I was certain he had pneumonia which had never cleared even though they told me he didn't - the week he died I insisted he get a CT (even though the dr said his lungs were clear and there was a CT in the hospital) They finally did after two days of arguing - he died the evening and sure enough the CT results came back the same day saying he had pneumonia. HUGS TO YOU
