Gary,
Thanks for your post. He has lost a total of 22 pounds right now, down to 150 1/2. I know he is drinking Gatorade, but I will check and see how much and tell him about tracking his liters. He was drinking shakes also, but with the mucous that is occuring right now he cannot get one down. Yesterday he spent an hour eating 3/4 can of peaches, and then of course it almost all came up later.
Dehydration is my concern right now also. I will tell him to be aware and check on him regularly. He is sort of, actually very, stubborn and prefers to manage his own care (pride)but he does listen when I suggest things, so I will make some suggestions based on your post.
I also think I will callDocs and get some guidelines and things for him to watch regarding dehydration occuring.
Thank you, Gary and keep on eating!!!!!
