To Theatre to Theatre to get a New PEG


Gorgeous isn't she? Please keep her in your prayers tomorrow. Gorgeous she may be pest deffinitely! Rosie destroyed her PEG causing it to be taken through her stomach by peristalsis! She has been manageing with temporary fixes for the last month....it seems like much longer! First temporary fix caused her some terrible issues with reaction to the tape keeping it in place. Second temporary fix was eaten by her stomach acid...acid reducers for her stomach acid have kept this as an option. However at last tomorrow it wil be replaced with a new FREKA 9 PEG!
This replacement involves a General Aneasthetic...we will be taking the opportunity to have a hip X ray at the same time and hopefully a dentist to check her teeth.
Ambulance transport will pick us up at 7.30 am and hopefully deliver us home later that evening...please pray it all goes smoothly!
Thanks!

Much luck for the procedures. I am glad you are getting to do more than one thing at once, given that she must have the anesthesia anyhow.

My prayers are with her.

I love her expression in this photo.
