I am having a similar issue with my father-in-law. He had a stroke on 9/2/22 and he is refusing to eat. He has been very combative whenever you attempt to touch anywhere near his face. He does not speak much at this time and when he does it is difficult to understand. The hospital has sent him home yesterday but he is still not eating. Prior to leaving the hospital he had a feeding tube and the hospital did a swallow test which he passed but just will not take down food on his own. My faith is strong so I’m praying this will change but my husband feels like his father has given up. The hospital says if he doesn’t start eating on his own it’ll be a few weeks if that and he’ll probably pass away. We could not find a nursing home or rehabilitation center in our state that would take him due to his combativeness. I’m trying to remain positive so I’ve been searching for any suggestions on how we could assist in getting him to eat anything when I came across this discussion. Any additional feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
