Iris Weis, my mother-in-law, continues to struggle at Fresno Community Hospital. She is still in the cardiac intensive care unit of the hospital. It appears that her pace-maker is doing all right and that her kidneys are functioning. However, she has persistently refused to eat enough to help her regain her strength. The situation has become so bad that the doctor has recommended that she receive a feeding tube. He hopes to 'jump-start' her eating properly with a small feeding tube to give her the needed nutrition she lacks. Iris is a very particular eater. She does not like spiced food of any kind. Also some foods she rejects because of the texture! That is true in the case of Creme of Wheat. However, she has been turning down or eating very little of the food Dorothy and her sister, Joyce, have been bringing her.
Thank you for your concern for Iris!
