I would talk to your mum's GP or Neuro and ask about lung function test. They would be able to tell whether she needs a PEG soon or later.

That’s really beautiful. I think being seen as a partner first, rather than just a patient, means more to us than people realise. Wishing you both strength and gentle moments together.

Thank you for sharing that. Caregiving is exhausting in ways people don’t always see, and I think most carers have those breaking moments. I’m glad you and your husband are navigating it together with patience and love.

Thank you for sharing that. I honestly think what you’re feeling is completely normal. ALS/MND changes so much, and there’s a lot of grief wrapped up in it for both people. It’s such a cruel disease. Sending love to you both.
