So sorry to hear of Frances' problems with the PEG tube. My daughter also had a lot of pain with hers. No vomiting though. She has continued to have some trouble with it the whole time she has had it. BUT she still is glad she got it in. It really is essential. Tell Frances to hang in there. The first couple days were the worst. IT WILL GET BETTER!
