Liz, I'm wondering if your friend has a Living Will?? She might have decided not to employ extraordinary means when she got to this point in her disease. PEG tube placement would be the answer to her problem if she has decided to live. She could receive nutritional supplements and hydration through this tube. PEG tubes are placed directly into the stomach - something that becomes necessary when swallowing is no longer possible. If she desires to let nature take its course, then Hospice will provide all of the comfort she and her husband require at this time. Her death will be peaceful. Please let us know how your friend does - I will be praying for you and for her and her husband. ----------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 65/25 with PD) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
