My husband has been diagnosed with ALS and has lost a lot of weight and is getting very weak. Dr wants to put in a PEG, but has also suggested we get connected with hospice. The hospice rep told me that their nurse said that a PEG can interfere with breathing. Is this true? No one else that has talked to us about a PEG has mentioned that. Also, hospice won't step in until after he has had the PEG inserted. I need help now! Don't know how long before the PEG will be inserted.
Thanks!
Thanks!
