i am worried about my friend delb,a fellow pal.
he is in the final stages of bulbar onset als.
he has tried to carry on eating himself as long as possible and does not want a feeding tube,but now hes barely getting any food at all and from what i can tell he is very frail.
this past week or so he has had severe stomach pains and is being sick.
does anyone know if it is als/final stage related other than not getting any food into his body?
a nurse i going to see him tomorrow,but i am so worried.
i email every day,some days i feel sick and worry if he is late with his reply and fear the worse.
i mentioned yesterday to him if he had a feeding tube for most of his nutrition but could still eat a little if he wanted to.
i just dont know what to do anymore,any suggestions or advice would really be appreciated.
take care .
