Christine,
My mom has chosen not to have the feedign tube and try to improve her nutrition orally. I am scared it won't work and she may be at risk for more complications. But I have received a few phone calls from people with PEG tubes etc who are very supportive and if she needs info I have people to help. She has not seen a nutritionist, but that is not a bad idea. I did some research on protein powder supplements and I have not a clue what is too much or the best for her? So I have some learning to do!
