Hi @ecgarst , Is he sleeping ok? Or is his discomfort impacting his sleep? Sleep can be very important to the healing process. Do you have access to palliative care that may be able to help with his specific case?

As far as I know he is sleeping. I'm hearing that may change as treatment progresses. I'm unsure about the palliative care piece but plan to speak with mom about it this weekend when I'm back with them. It sounds like a missing link for both of them. He starts PT soon which will be a game changer for him, he started this journey coming out of double pneumonia and an Afib diagnosis so he is so fatigued; most days just getting him to eat is a challenge for mom- so these are our big obstacles at the moment.
