Steve would never drink the 2cal. When his peg was leaking at it's worse Steve said it smelt like the 2cal. So mentally everytime he smelt 2cal he thought of what he'd seen coming out of that hole in his stomach. Steve had a shocking time with that peg but overall we are really glad he had it. But we are just as glad to see it behind us too. One year peg free this coming thursday. Woohoo.

Swallowing wise he never had a problem which I am thankful for. All through treatment, even with peg feeds, he continued to eat icecream and drink apple juice every day. Possibly this helped. Good luck Sandy. I know some people do without a peg but personally from a carer's point of view it does make aspects of caring alot easier.
