Feeding Tube Question

What gets me I guess is that they do not have him on a feeding tube. As I was sitting here thinking, I was wondering. If you body uses food as energy, then why is he being starved. Seems if he was fed he would be able to fight more... I will discuss this with the doctor today.

The nurse said he is the same. His HR dropped which is good, his blood pressure is stable which is good, and his kidneys are functioning which is good. His lungs are still not responding appropriately. He has not gone into cardiac arrest or had a stroke from what they can see. His blood sugar is being maintained at 90-100 with ease. So the only issue is his lungs and the stuff associated with his lungs.

They only got 3 liters of junk out of him with the first dialysis so maybe a few more will be good.

Then there is the question of the tracheotomy they may need to perform. Again, I will ask for more clarity today.
