Hello Everyone,
My mom cant swallow now. She was very stubborn about getting a feeding tube. Now, she has no choice. How does it work and how soon can it be inserted? She has an appt today and I am worried. Are there bad side effects to it? Also, I cried because I was worried when she told me she couldnt swallow that maybe her airway could get blocked. Is that a concern as well? Are there pointers for the feeding tube that I can use for my mom to help and any potential problems and how you have helped that? Thanks again so much! Love Stephany
