Danny,
We just came back from having a new PEG inserted in John's tummy. Yesterday his sprang leaks.I guess the stomach acid just ate right through it. He was dealing with an infection just under the skin aroung the tube. The radiologist told him PEGs need to be replaced every six months (at least). No one told us that when he had it put in in July. Now we know. He was going to try to drink his ensure but his doctor said she felt it was too much of a strain at this time. He is working with a speech therapist to improve his eating. The therapist feels he will be able to have it removed in six to eight weeks.
Don't be in too much of a hurry to get rid to it.
