Thanks for the information re: feeding tube. My father has been

admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. He had been coughing a

lot but he never had a fever.... I told them at the home that MSA

patients register low body temp. but it seems to go in one ear

and out the other...I'm still looking for document evidence of

this...if anyone has any. Anyway the hospital might want to insert

a feeding tube while he is there... my father is saying no way. I

am going to read to him from all the info. that you have sent me

on this site and maybe this will influence his decision. He is

getting very tired of his condition and I think that he would like to

just " go away " ... We'll see and thanks Joanne
