JoAnn

I use a Vitamix blender to totally pulverize the dinners my wife cooks each night. Throw in three cups of water and 90 seconds later, everything goes nicely down my feeding tube via a syringe. A couple of tablespoons of flax seed oil boosts the calories twice a week. I get a burp "taste" and it's not bad. We can even do Chinese and pizza take out this way, and recapture the old days.
For my wife and I , there is a big psychological boost to be able to "eat" the same foods together. I now look forward to dinner each night at home. An unexpected bonus was an article I wrote about it got published in the paper plus a slightly longer version will be published by Vitamix as one of their winners of their "Inspiration" contest in a coffee table book. Nice validation as I contemplate a future with no articulate oral voice.
Everybody's different and maybe he won't want to do it on a daily basis, but you can tell your husband it works for me.
Keep the faith
