Gloria, reading your posts sounded like you were telling my story. My husband has had his feeding tube for one year one month. Very much wanting to eat a steak. He eats about a cup of pureed food to a pudding consistency every night. It has to be just the right consistency or he can not swallow it. I do not think his swallowing ability is going to fully come back. He has done vital stimulation through speech but that did not help at all. Has your tried any other treatments?
