Dear friends, my mom is 77 and has a peg tube because she had a vocal cord injury while having a biopsy(lung) 1.5 yrs ago,that caused silent aspiration. My mom was just diagnosed at the time,and i believe she has many yrs ahead of her.Dilemma #1
She's doing better, has a little aspiration, but overall doing much better with all the therapy and intervention.
Should i have her peg tube REMOVED now that she's doing better? I don't know what to do.
