Question: Good way to rebuild muscle mass after severe illness.?
Son was ill and in ICU for 2 weeks, unconscious for most of the time. He had a nasty infection and nearly died.

He can barely walk now and will be out of the hospital in a day or two. What can he do to help rebuild that muscular tissue.?Health Question & Answer
