No apology needed Liz...I just wanted to clarify my position and not be included in any "anti-PEG, suck it up or else" group. When I reread the entire thread..I really think that we all just agree that getting a little something by mouth as soon as possible is a good idea (unless there are restrictions against it for aspiration problems and such.)

Your viewpoints are always welcome to me, I appreciate your candor and obviously, if I have issues with something will say so.
