I am new to this. My father-in-law recently diagnosed with MND. He is having some trouble swallowing and breathing problems. I want to try to make him something that is kind of traditional for Thanksgiving meal. I was thinking about finely chopping up the turkey and maybe add some broth to it to allow it to be wallowed easier. Do all of you that take care of someone with MND just puree everything as the condition progresses and stick with that for a while and then go to Ensure or something? Right now, we are having problems getting protein into him in any substantial amount, which I know is not doing him much good, but what on earth can we do to get protein into someone who we can barely get to eat to begin with even long before he was diagnosed?
