Hi and welcome to NeuroTalk! I found this info on the Mayo Clinic website.....it may be of some help to you: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dif...SECTION=causes

Seems to me they'd try and find the cause of the problem instead of suggesting a feeding tube right off the bat. He may need one temporarily until they can pinpoint the cause of his problem.

Your Dad's fortunate to have you as his advocate.

Default Hello Karen!
Just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your father's struggles....
You've found a wonderful place full of caring people.

This forum has so much to offer in the way of support, info, care, etc.....

I'm not familiar with what your father is experiencing, but there are many here who will have suggestions and be able to help direct you to some of the areas here that may be of help.

Best Wishes
Rae

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I see you have been given some good suggestions already. I'm sorry to not be knowledgable in this area for you. But I do offer my thoughts and prayers. I am hoping your father finds comfort soon and the doctors can find the cause of his difficulties.
Blessings to you.
