Mike had the peg tube checked today by the gastro doctor. The sour smell and rash cleared up but the tube turned purple. The doctor said it is normal to turn color. Mike asked to have the tube taken out, since he is eating really well now. He had a throat dilation last week and what a difference that made!
The doc said he had to have the ok from the ENT first. Mike called him, got the ok, and he gets it out on the 11/17!
Darrell, I am sorry you have a peg for life. You were so kind to offer good suggestions for us. I realized from your response that there are different kinds of feeding tubes and read up on all of them.
I saw your other posting on the Blender Food too. All I can say is you have my deepest admiration for your ability to adapt. Your willingness to share and participate in this forum to help others makes you quite a remarkable person.
Ginny, Mike's wife
