Thank you for sharing that my "tips & tricks" may be able to help. I can relate to your husbands pain and frustration. To be literally excommunicated from the social bonding activity of breaking bread is heartbreaking for both the patient and their caregiver. I hope your husband does regain his swallowing but trust me, it's possible to have a very good life even on a feeding tube forever. It's way too early to tell your husband's future so let's hope for the best.
