Thanks for the replies, everyone.

He's already adjusted to the Peg tube, and we got a suction machine (very helpful). I don't know if it's the discomfort of the Peg tube healing or what, but he's just now getting in touch with pain, so he's on Oxycodone (5mg) every 4 hours. He really wasn't taking anything for pain before. I looked in his mouth/throat for the first time in a while last night and couldn't get over how much was going on in there - yikes!

I'm doing pretty well. We have two little boys -both ALL boy wink - 4 and 6 years old, so things are a little crazy here. We're lucky that we've had family come stay with us (tag team) to help out.

Thanks for listening and the great advice!
