[quote=Anonymous]This is so tough. If she were an earlier stage I would agree with some of the suggestions and they may still apply. I would talk to the neurologist about what is the most humane thing to do. I know by the end my parent was choking on food before ability to eat ceased. There is a big risk of aspiration pneumonia. I like the idea mentioned of smoothies. Part of her complaints may be swallowing difficulties. At this stage it doesn't matter if it's lots of sugar and unhealthy stuff because they might as well enjoy the process of getting calories.[/quote]
