My father in law had open heart surgery, went home for recovery and had home health care twice a week. He had an infection then got bad enough that he had to return to the hospital for a few days and then went to a nursing home close to the doctor's office for about 2 months. He has now returned home and has been there about 2 weeks. His infection is starting to come back and they're talking about the possibility of surgery for the infection. When he returned home after that 2 months I gave him 1 gal. of CS and he was drinking about 4 oz. daily. From what I am starting to hear this was probably not enough CS for him to take. Does anyone have some idea how much he should take daily and does it need to be taken once a day, twice a day, 3 times a day or what?
He is also diabetic and he is a smoker. (One of those that refuses to stop) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Gary
