Hi. My mom would die choking if I ever gave her water with or without her teeth. She gets plenty of fluids. Doctor said that she needs 20-24 oz a day. I give her about 16 and the rest is in her pureed foods. Shes been getting this over 6 years no problem. They dont need as much as you might think. I need puree supper ideas , she coughs sometimes like 30+ mins after a meal too. Maybe I should divide up her meals. She is sitting up in bed still and I feed her a popsicle to stop her coughing. She rolls her eyes and smiles at me she loves it! Lol time to go roll her bed back down. Thanks !

You're good then. She may be getting a little down the wrong way, but watch her breathing/respiratory status. There are lots of entree ideas out their, just google dysphagia recipes.
