HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if your husband is already in hospital then he would be taken great nursing care, with the right treatment he would be fine soon, in such medical condition loss of weight is very common, you can take care for feeding tube as long as diet is concern, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
