Kerri,

I'm pretty sure that if you tell your RO what you just told us, he will make sure that PEG is in ASAP. He may also get you a tube that goes down your nose in the interim. I forget the name but a few here have had that. It will hold you over until the PEG is ready. From what I hear its a bit uncomfortable but no big deal.
