Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement. I guess I just want the old Tom back. But know it will be different. He is taking 2500 calories in his peg tube and 6-8 glasses of water also. Just wish he would want to eat more by mouth. A few hours ago he said he felt fain and dizzy, it passed in about 20 min. I wanted to take him to the ER but he said no way. He drank some water by mouth and said it passed. I told him maybe he was geting dehydrated and put the air on in the house. It is so hot and muggy here in Western Pa. Everyday it is something diferent.
