[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, hasn't his parents seen him?  What do they say?

I would get him Ensure or drinks that will provide balanced nutrients if you haven't try that.  Lots of soup, more soup if he has stomach/dietary issues.

Get him to urgent care if ER is too much, check their hours of operation and go there early so he is the first patient of the day.

Wishing your family the best.

No. His parents live out of state and we have not seen them since the holidays before COVID. At most we usually see them once or twice a year -- and only because I have pushed to go so our kids can have time with them. We have video calls with them usually weekly since COVID hit in 2020. They do not fly (EVER) and it is a multi-day drive to get here. Airline prices have gone up a lot and even when we do go we have about a 2.5h drive from the airport to their home. He loves his parents and loves when he sees them, but he's never spent much time with them after college. He actually saw them more because I wanted the kids to know them. [/quote]
