I have been using a feeding tube for over a year. Some days it is a blessing and some days it is not for sure. I struggle every day to keep my nutrition and water needs met. Always wondering if there is something better out there to put through the tube. I do try every day to drink soup or nibble on a little something just to keep the swallowing muscles working. Perhaps we can exchange feeding tube tips. I do have up days and down days, sometimes even weeks of each and can so understand what you are saying. Some days it is the littlest of things that set me in a funk but my strong loving family is always there for hugs and encouragement. Your family and faith are so important and I am happy to see you are blessed with both. Please continue to check in here. You will never meet a more informative and supportive group.
