@ Don I am really confused now. I will have a good discussion with my husband regarding the tube. As you said there could be risks involved by not having it, I guess we will make our decision today as the docs want it in by Monday.
@Christine I am realize that swallowing does gets difficult after a while and every calorie counts after reading so much in the forum.
I will post once we decide over PEG.
Thanks to both of you.
