Thank you for the reply Paul. Sorry to hear you had to go through this horrible experience as well.

My dad goes to hospital to get intravenous vitamins and fluids once a week, it's at home that is the struggle. You're right you do feel like a bully even though trying to help and make them feel better whilst yourself feeling so helpless. We stay on a farm far away from town which doesn't make things easier either. Hospital is more than 2 hours away

Hi sounds like you live way out yes its difficult to know what to do so all you can do is your best and sounds like thats exactly what your doing i know you can get the fortisp shakes to give nourishment but you can get fortijuise which is thinner and a lot more easy to drink and gives fluid pity they cant train us to do it only other thing is to tell him hes hurting you not drinking sorry cant suggest anything more as you are already doing all you can do .best wishs paul
