Re: Not Eating / no forcing children

August 27, 2002

, Get off dad,

If he does not feel like eating do not force him. You could have him

right back in the hospital tonight. Make sure he gets fluid, maybe

some clear broth. His pancreatitis may not be over. Weights are

always a problem with pancreatitis. I am sure that when he is ready

to eat, watch out!!!! Zoloft is cool. Doctors love to take the gall

bladder out. Seems it the first thing out, needed or not. I think

they can laser the cysts and do less harm to him. The less done to

his pancreas the better.

Thanks,
