You don't need a Making Light login. Just put what you want to use down above the textbox. :) I use Marilee there because it was originally people who already knew me.
I talked to Velma today about NG tubes because I had four that my stomach launched back up and blocked my breathing. I wasn't strapped down and I called the nurse with the button. She didn't come in time the first time, so I pulled it out myself, which turns out to be the right thing to do. I'm concerned that if he's left alone, while he's restrained, that might happen and he won't be able to do anything.
On the other hand, Helen has a quote from Ellie here (http://fimbrethil.livejournal.com/902416.html) that indicates that he may be starting to swallow. Someone should have told them earlier that he hates vanilla pudding.
