[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are still here, please talk with hospice or the palliative care team at the hospital. When in your shoes, we decided not to do the feeding tube. We were told our loved one would be kept comfortable but would not receive additional nutrition or hydration. He did not seem to be in pain and was still alert for several days to say good-bye before peacefully slipping away. It seemed to take a while and there were a few days where he'd fade in and out. I'm sorry you are going through this.[/quote]
