The question
I continue to get questions about whether or not mom needs/should get a feeding tube or not. I talked with my friend from childhood who is convinced that putting mom on a feeding tube is the right decision to make. I feel lost in all the discussion. Mom is real anxious about the whole thing. It feels like any family member who is too pushy has a v for victim on their forehead. Why not let someone else play the fool.

From a theological perspective it is a question of what it means to have a good life, to leave this life with no regrets. How can any voice be silenced with this in mind. My gut says that I can not make anyone do anything. Yet in my family of origin this became the issue. You can make a person mad or happy. I leave this blog with more questions than answer. Hopefully after a decent sleep I will know more than I know today.
