mom,

What he is experiencing is normal but he must continue to get his daily rations of water and food into his body.

I didn't have the tube and I can tell you, he doesn't want to short himself in the water and food department as it only makes a bad situation extreme. Oh, and it doesn't take long to get from bad to extreme either, 3, 4 days tops so please stay on top of his daily intake and don't take his word for it because, silly me, I lied to my wife more than once. Not only did I pay the price but I put my wife through living hell.
