My Dad Had Open Heart Surgery On November 27, 2015.
My Dad had open heart surgery on November 27, 2015. He is still in the hospital and has fluid building up in his lungs. This has gotten better, however they still will not let him eat due to him possible assperating.
Six weeks is a long time not to intake any food by mouth. Is this normal for a 77 year old heart patient?
