Definitely shop and compare on formula for the PEG. The place I used at first charges $1 more PER CAN than the place I think I'm switching to. Very often, a Sam's or Walmart, drugstore chain or grocery store chain can order the formula for you - I plan to look into that for my needs.
Call insurance co. to make sure they cover enterals (formula you'll need). Mine did last year, does not this year (we switched the type of plan we're on at work, but not providers).
Again, I LOVE the way you're getting it all together for her; it's great. Soldier on!
