More info on my Dad
He went and saw the gastroenterologist today and he has scheduled him for a test sometime in mid February. He told my mom that he thinks my Dad has had another stroke but what do we know?! He is greatly concerned about the aspirating and the weight loss and depending on the results of his test and if he continues to drop weight, at that time he will have to decide if he wants a feeding tube put in. He is NOT happy about that prospect. However, he has a week or so to think about it. Not sure what will happen. Will keep you posted. Meanwhile he continues to stuggle with swallowing, coughing and choking each meal or drink. Lets hope he doesn't get pneumonia.

Ayeaye, I bet it is scarey having him choking like that. It is too bad the testing has to be spread out like that.
It is hard to be so far away when your parents are having trouble. We pray for him and your mom and for you, too. You have a lot on your plate right now.
