Hey all,
Never posted here before although I haunt these posts all the time. My husband is a former U.S. Marine diagnosed with ALS in August of 2011 at the age of 28. He is still talking and walking around our accessible house with the help of a walker, and he still eats and drinks although he is starting to lose some weight.
Today he had diaphragm pacers and a PEG placed.
For those of you who have seen or had PEG's placed, please tell me how soon after placement you were able to sip water or liquid.
Thanks for your input. Today was tough, but it's a relief to have the surgery over and hopefully to be able to go home tomorrow.
Liz
