My dad is down to 130 pounds and was admitted in the hospital a week ago because of dehydration and mal nurishment. We tried to do everything to get him to drink his boosts, ensure and all the others. He just can't do it anymore. we convinced him to get the feeding tube and and the procedure was scheduled for last friday. they tried to put the thing in his mouth to put him to sleep and they couldn't fit it in because his mouth is too swollen and his range of movement in his jaw is limited. so the dr. pulled out and said it won't work and it was too risky because his nasal airway was too swollen already and would close up with surgery. now we are left to force my dad to drink this high calorie drink (5 a day) to survive. I'm so upset about the lack of quality care. I feel like the peg should have been put in a long time ago before this type of complication could happen. now we don't even have the option. my dad is 77 and very confused and very scared. Any advice?
