My mother is in hospital, she was having trouble eating in the nursing home, though I put that down to her being dehydrated/them sacking the chef/poor care and so on. She went into A&E a while back. After weeks of my having to go in and get her going again, she is eating (that's another story) but the doctor seems itching to get a PEG inserted, where she can be 'topped up' through passing food through a tube in the stomach. It seems a bit excessive, under the circs. Anyone had experience of this with relatives?
