Kris has a PEG, currently the long pendulous type.
He had it changed during our last appointment at Auckland hospital 2 weeks ago.
They were going to change this to a Mickey type but did not have the correct size at the time.
They told me that if I felt able I could change this myself. They showed me how to do this, and they will post out to us the Mikey when it arrives.
So, I will be changing Kris 's tubes in future. To me it looks easy and I am a currently practicing Registered Nurse. Although they did not know that .
So, with a little bit of trepidation, I plan on changing Kris's PEG soon.
