Charlie:

This client had a feeding tube. That is how he took his meds and his food. He was supposed to be in a persistant vegitative state. But sometimes he did seem more aware than others.

His mother was his caregiver and on rare occasions she would give him a taste, and I do mean just a taste, of something like sherbert or a popsicle. She worked with a therapist on this in the home and while he could take a very minimal amount of something like that he could not begin to sustain life and you had to be extremely careful. Like I said she worked with a therapist on this, but with minimal success.

When I say he was like Terri, I am saying he was supposed to be unaware, not cognitive.
