<< Hi, 
 I just have one question....if the patient is using a PEG, why did the 
 last therapist feel the need to use lemon swabs?  These trigger a
 swallow and if she has a PEG then the patient is receiving
 nutrition and should not need to be fed orally or swallow; especially if
 she no longer recognizes food.

My thoughts exactly.  Thank you.
