@jlvr - Welcome! I'm happy that you are joining the conversation. You have mentioned that your husband's hands shake and that you question whether that is affecting his ability to eat. I am not a medical person, just a patient like he is. At only 2 months post transplant surgery he is going to be on high doses of medications which are necessary for his new organs, but they are strong and can have some advsere effects on some people.(like trembling hands)

Since he has been moved to a rehabilitation hospital I do hope thet he is getting the nutrition via the feeding tube. I was 'threatened' with a feeding tube if I didn't eat. It was only sheer willpower and the access to nutritional shakes that I avoided it. Perhaps that might be a possibility when he is released.

It has been a couple of days since you posted. Has there been any improvement?

There has been no improvement. He continues with his therapy sessions but today he didn’t have occupational therapy. His blood pressure was low & hardly opened his eyes. He did a little physical therapy in a chair & in bed. Tomorrow we meet with his Transplant Surgeon & cardiology. He had his transplant 2 months ago.
