has anyone gone home on hospice and then successfully gotten their loved one on TPN. He has a partial small bowel obstruction. He is getting a venting G-tube and a tube to drain ascites.
He has lost 40 pounds since November. Nobody mentioned TPN into us at all.
basically they’re sending him home just to die
