Sarhs Daughter,

Good news that your Mother ate and is in a better mood.

I had a PEG tube in for about 7 months. Never had a problem with it. I gained back the 25 lbs. I lost during treatment.

She needs alot more nutrition right now. Check with a nutritionest on what she needs. I'll bet it's at least 2000 calories per day. She should also be inputting at least two to three large glasses of water per day. Please tell her it does get better!! Recovery is measured in weeks not days. Keep up the great caregiver work you have been doing. Someone has to be her advocate.
Knowledge about this diaease is power.

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
