We're down the the last round of feeding/fluid options for mom. She didn't want a PEG. She is in late stages, and in the past week or so her bulbar muscles have gotten significantly weaker to the point that most food/fluids we try to feed her roll right back out. She is getting very little fluids. I know the end is near as her eating/fluids are soon going to diminish to nothing because she simply can't keep food/fluids in her mouth.
Any suggestions? We spoon or syringe liquids in. Tried the straw trick but it didn't work either. Some food she can keep in, but the liquids are nearly impossible.
