Our introduction with Steve's peg was pretty disastrous to start with but boy are we glad to have it now. It's taken alot of pressure off him, kept him hydrated and eased my mind immensely knowing he is getting everything he needs. A nurse told us that the peg will be Steve's lifeline and I tell you, she was right. Good luck on friday and I will be thinking of you.
