Nancy

best of luck with the surgery tomorrow for the feeding tube. Im so sorry your mom has suffered so much with this. Ive landed myself in the hospital a few times for dehydration. Keep a close eye on that, the hospital can always give her fluids. Its amazing how much better you feel after you get the fluids.

If you need any pointers about the feedings please let me know. Hope this will help her turn things aroung and feel a little better.
