Hi Guys,

No amifostine but I am relieved to hear that other folks have had problems. I was worried that it was related to his PEG tube and possible damage to his diaphragm..sure didn't want to have to redo that. We took the supplement feeding this AM a little slower in case that was the problem. So far no more hiccups since night before last...yea!

Gary, you are right...these are not normal hiccups...they are hiccups on steroids...just horrible.

Again thanks for all your input..this board is such a help when you feel helpless!

Deb
