You're welcome Pat Were all in this together! At OCF, we try to help each other to make some of the hardest days/nights of anyones life a little easier to get thru.

Hopefully your father has tried a few of my feeding tube suggestions and he will feel a little better than he had been when he uses the tube. Having to depend on a feeding tube can be difficult for some to mentally handle. I sure didnt want to have one when my doc told about feeding tubes, I was shocked and horrified thinking about a plastic tube sticking out of my abdomen. In time, most patients adjust to a routine and do better managing their feedings and nausea.

Glad to know my overly long post was helpful. I was worried I gave you too much info and was a little too open and honest which can scare newer OC patients and/or their caregivers. Thanks for letting me know!!!
