Thanks for sharing. You are a remarkable person and so is your husband. I have watched 5 of my family members deal with this disease and it is brutal. Nevertheless,there is a lot of positive things happening with this disease currently such as the Registry Act and the US military granting benefits, progress in research and more. I highly suggest the peg tube as it enhances quality of life, enables weight stability and decreases choking hazards etc. We had a great experience with it. Hang in there and many blessings to you and yours!
