Irene, you all are having a tough time- the heart attack sounds really frightening. Now that he is hopefull stablized, the peg tube will come into good use in keeping him hydrated and nourished. If you can accomplish those 2 things, he will have the energy to keep fighting. Do you have family around to support you? You will need to take care of yourself to help him get through these next weeks. Keep posting and best wishes. Amy in the Ozarks.
