It is amazing that just when you thought you were fairly well informed about a subject, you read something new. I just read the link above to "feeding tubes" and was surprised to find out that the "average life" of a peg tube was 6 months! No one ever told us that- and in fact , the 2 different ones John had lasted much longer.
Ann Marie, I am in the "pro" camp for pegs. His kept him from haviang to go to the hospital on an emergency basis and made his life easier in terms of meds and nutrition. Keep asking questions. Amy in the Oz
