I remember being scared silly when Pete got his PEG put in. We had the same problem and when I called the home caregiver service we had been recommended to the advice I got was ...well, if its a lot open the PEG and let it drain out!

Needless to say that was the WRONG advice and that company was promptly fired. Some one should have been sent out by now to show you guys how to deal with the PEG. The green bile is a normal occurance. Were you given a syringe to insert in PEG and measure the bile? I don`t want to give you the idea that you can just do this yourself with no direction, you have to be taught.
Karen, there is no way your mother -in- law can be responsible for her medications. Some arrangements have to be made to help you and her through this. Has the Doctor or hospital put you in touch with a social worker or a case manager?
You need some help here...start Yelling!
