Hi Lisa,

My surgeon opted against a PEG for me. His attitude (which I liked) was that I would be cut enough and if the was another option that would work we would do that first. The result was that I had a nasal feeding tube. A little embarrassing to walk around with, and at times it took some time for the food to finish flowing, but one less invasion was woth it to me. Perhaps this would be a possibility? Ask the surgeon and see what he say. (That is of course presumming that Rosemary would agree to it.)

Peace,

Fr. Mike
