Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 42 | Yeah to Mike & Ginny - We are anxiously awaiting the removal of Rick's PEG - sometime in December. I'm right with you on the hugging, Ginny. I can't wait for the full body hug too! I call it his best friend - it kept him nourished, hydrated and medicated....It is the last thing we have left to face and we can move on....our journey started in May. Blessings to you all!
