Thanks, everyone. He's still in the hospital. Major problems w/constipation right now. Too much info, sorry. His fever is down and they did not determine a cause, but your idea about the mouth sores could probably be true for him. His mouth is an absolute mess. We're waiting for the dietician to stop by so we can get started with the PEG, but I will do my best to make sure he continues to swallow. Poor guy.
