Jeff...don't forget about asking about carafate (sucralfate) for her mouth.

Do take care of YOURSELF.

You have time....TPN (total parenteral nutrition) can keep her supported for more than a week. I've supported some patients on it for several weeks if not a month or so. Although it won't make her gain weight, it will slow down/halt the breakdown of protein/muscle mass. Try and keep her spirits up as best you can. Tell her about your doctor friend 'up north and not THAT far from Hoboken' and tell her that I am pulling for her.

Hold the line.
