Its been some time since I posted. Mum is coping with her peg, but was losing weight, so is now hooked up to it for hours at a time. She had a nasty fall down a 6 metre bank and of course with no voice could not call for help! She refuses to wear her emergency alarm! Mucous is a massive problem, she uses a portable suction machine, I would prefer her to also use a cough machine, but convincing the Drs is a different story! She writes it saves her life everyday. Now her salivary glands are blocked and very very painful. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this nasty problem. She is taking an anti inflammatory but its not helping much.
