To Walt, Hi! So Sorry you all are having to deal with this instead of playing with the grandkids! It sounds like you have things under some control-good for you! The constipation thing is something you all will have to fight all along.[pain meds , lack of solid food, not enough fiber or hydration, etc. cause it. If you can find one thing that she can tolerate on a daily basis [Correctol helped John] Try is for awhile. Also there is a product called Benefiber, available in powdered form at Walmart, that is tasteless and can be added to most any liquid to add fiber to the diet. We also used Ducoliquid at times. Glad you are where your kids can help. You could get out quickly without support.John's peg leaked constantly abound the incision, we just kept it clean with hydrogen peroxide between showers. And we always put a drain gauze between the plastic and his skin-per his Doc's instructions. Please keep us informed so we can help if needed. Amy in the Ozarks
