I've been in florida for 3 months to get out of the winter but we had to come home because my husband went from 175 lbs. to 125 lbs because he has lost his ability to swallow. He is going to get a peg tube tomorrow. The Dr. tried to talk me into just putting him on hospice and no tube feeding but I can't let him go because he still has a quality of life. He doesn't understand what is happening. He tells me everyday that he loves me. Until he is suffering I will just take care of him without hospice. I just need someone to realize that just because someone is confused you don't give up them. I already signed a do not resusitate form and No vent but he has pneumonia so I don't know if he will even tolerate the surgery. Pray for him. Thank you Judy
