Also, isn't she a hospice patient? Why the concern at end of life with need of nutrition? The body naturally eshews food when it starts shutting down. Its one of the first things that happens. I find that sudden, difficult to manage symptoms, often herald the beginning of the active dying process. Just a little baffled here.
My concern was she had been 36 hours without anything to eat. This is a woman that is alert and oriented and not actively dying. To me it does seem kind of important. My concern is also for comfort. And I don't know about you but I am not comfortable when I am nauseated/vomiting. So if its the formula that is making her sick I would like to change it to something that dosen't make her sick everytime she gets it. (She has had the feeding tube for years) But turns out it looks like she just had the flu
Would you like to comment?
