I am sorry Margie - that would be a very upsetting thing to hear. Talk to Charm and see if he has any tips for you on living fully while using a peg. No question tho, this would be so disappointing. My doctors talked about putting some sort of metal "stent" in my throat to keep it open (not like a heart stent) should it come to that.
