Thanks to all for this info. I read it to Dan and believe that your thoughts have eased his mind considerably......they sure have eased mine!

Now I have another question. He is weaning off the PEG and beginning to eat by mouth. His sense of taste is pretty good. He can swallow liquids w/o a problem, but other foods cause some difficulty. He still complains of the food "being stuck". Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I would say at this point, this is one of his main concerns.....can someone tell me if this will improve? If so, how long does it usually take?

Thanks to all,
Michelle G.
