My mom was diagnosed with ALS in February of this year. She has progressed very quickly with no movement left except neck and facial muscles. Her speech is just about gone and breathing is not the best. She is finally getting a feeding tube in the morning (later than we all would have wanted), but my dad is concerned about transferring her after it is in place. He uses a transfer belt around her middle to move her from chair to bed to toilet, etc. He is concerned that with the feeding tube in place, it will interfere with the use of the transfer belt. He cannot pick her up alone without it. She doesn't weight more than 125 lbs., but she is dead weight that cannot help in anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.
