So the question was whether it is appropriate to insert a tube to feed my love, my baby girl, my sweet daughter. It's not that her throat won't swallow but that her brain isn't sending the signal telling her throat to swallow . This failing cognitive function will continue to get worse, probably quickly. Probably very quickly. If we start tube feeding we can't just stop. So do we want to insert the tube or "let nature run its course". Which will take "weeks, months perhaps". No no and no. Neither of those options. Written this on the phone. Going now.
