Thanks guys, She is doing really well now (although we are still in hospital).

Ellasmum - she had the long tube (all PEG's start out as a long tube until the body heals enough for the MicKey button) At this stage we will be starting again next year once she has healed from this one. I have had a lot of conversations with the surgeon and gastro doctors and think it will be best to go again - they said the issues she has had are both rare complications (the surgeon said he has never seen the PEG dislodge itself in his time as a surgeon) They also said that the dislodgement was most likely caused by the peritonitis - it was her bodies way of fighting a 'foreign body' so to speak.

Next year is a new year and we will see how we go then.

Thanks

Sjl
