Thanks for everyone's input. like many things, the more we know, the better we do.

today i made another visit to the hospital and our friend is doing much better. the open burns are healing over.. even though treatment is continuing... in fact, two more days and its over! just in time for the holidays.

i must say, i was very suprised to see the dramatic improvement... and wonder if better nutrition (more protein) due to the new peg is a significant factor.

best wishes to everyone,
cu,
