I should post the photo I took a few weeks ago when our son was in ICU. He wrote more than once, “Feed me!” He lost 36 pounds in three weeks in ICU. The “nutritionist” would not bend regarding the number of calories she believed he needed. They also went from him being on constant fluid IVs to nothing but tube feeds with inadequate calories. Son could not speak, but he could write. His begging for food was very difficult to take as a mom. :(

What a terrible story. I hope you took it up with the hospital and the nutritionist afterward.

They need to know their idea of "treatment" nearly cost your son his life.

I hope your son is on the mend. When my grandma was in ICU, she was begging for food and liquids.
