"OCF across the pond" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | Rob has had his peg tube in for 48 hours now ,and touch wood we are not having any problems.He has a roller ball type clip half way down which we have to open prior to feeds and close after feeds ,and at the end of his tube are two syringe connectors with sealed pop off tops.Unlike most people on this site we dont use gravitational feeding i just suck it up a syringe and push the liquid through.So far all is going well and he has no problems with it coming up or back.At the moment he is on three bottles of feed plus three hundred mls of water so total for the first two days is 900mls i think that is about 300 fl ozs.It seems straight forward but after reading all the posts on here i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Never take your eye off the ball, it may just smack you in the mouth.
