Arlene,
I am hoping you'll be there on Tuesday. If so, would you ask to see the nutritionist to discuss Bill's weight? I never got a call back from Dr. Morris. I am worried that Bill is in a starvation state. It would seem to me, to a lay person, that you just can't get physically strong, which they are trying to get Bill to do, from a state of starvation. It could be a vicious cycle: If Bill cant' take in nutrition from tube feeding he can't have enough strength to even chew/swallow food. The more he can't eat by mouth the more they will have to tube feed him which in turn leads to further difficulties in nutrition absorption.
BTW, did you see his creatinine level after dialysis??
