hey everyone,
This is only my second time posting a message on this site but I visit it regularly. I'm not yet a nursing student (hoping to be excepted next Sept) so I've never really had anything to post, but today I got some bad news and would like some input. My fiancee is in the hospital for pneumonia and was told today that he will need a tube feeding put it because the flap that covers your airway when you eat is not doing its job. This is devastating news because he also has NF2 which has rendered both of his arms and legs to be fairly useless.
I was just wondering if you guys had any info about tube feeding you'd be willing to share and any thoughts or sugestions. Any help given would be greatly appreciated. You guys are a great bunch of people!

I would just like to give my upmost thanks to everyone for their prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. Although I have only posted on here three times I have been reading the threads numerous times per day for about a year and I can't beleive how great everyone is. Everyone is always willing to give their support and prayers to complete strangers. Although we have never met or talked to each other I feel as though I know you all personally and as though you're all my close friends. Once again you guys are great and I hope the next time I post a message on here it will be on a more happy note.
