Hello Marie-Lynn
I just wanted to add my two cents worth...if your decision has not already been made?
Not only could my hubby not swallow, he also had such severe nausea that he could not use the PEG for nutrition and had to be fed thru his PORT. But, the PEG was invaluable for hydration purposes, we could not have managed without it.
I wish you all the best in the coming months.
Take Care
