In the last couple of weeks dad has gotten considerably weaker. He was eating well until this week. This week he has noticeably backed off of his food intake, probably eating maybe half of what he was. While he does have a little bit of a hard time with certain foods he is still able to pretty much eat what he wants as long as we feed it to him. The issue he says is that he just has no appetite and only eats for the sake of eating. We are trying to get him to at least drink one-two Boost drinks a day now since he is eating so much less. Any ideas on things to do either boost his appetite or ensure that he is getting all his body needs in a day? I know this is part of als but the swallowing isn't so much the issue. He has already made it very clear that there will be no feeding tube of any kind. Any ideas /sugguestions will be greatly appreciated. I hate saying this but his sake I hope the fight will end soon. He has been praying to just go for a while now.
