Continuing Change

Just when you thought things might be slowing down, Uncle ALS throws you another curveball. Since my swallowing has been slowly copromised, fear of choking has been in the forefront. After a recent episode that required a trip to the emergency room, we decided to bite the bullet and get a G-tube placement. For those of you not familiar with a Gastric tube, it is a small tube that is in direct contact with your stomach. So all my food is now liquid and delivered throughout the day with no more worries about choking. The peace of mind this has brought has been well worth it. Onward and upward!
