It will help you by seeing others with their experiences going thru the same thing right now. Type in nasal feeding tube into the search bar and you should easily find the other posts. They are having the same issues as your mother.
I agree with Sid and question everything. The doctors work for you and your mother so dont be afraid to ask them questions until you understand everything.
Best wishes.
