Roadkill, I hear your frustration. My prays are with you. Maybe it is time to ask family and friends for the help you need. Being the strong one is a great thing but people get used to someone taking care of everything and it just might not dawn on them you need the help now. Rhonda

Thank you all for your concern. I only heard one reason for Joe's infection. He got it in surgery. They talk as if it can be a common thing to get celulitious after surgery. I am not sure so I plane on listening and asking more questions. As far as all the complications with the PEG it's...

Hi, For those of you that read my post 2 plus weeks ago. My husband had his PEG put in last Thursday. It went ok but they had to keep him overnight he throw up several times and the tubu hurt so bad he could hardly move. He went home on Fri but started a fever right off. When I called...

Gelthling, My husband is just 53 and this is so hard on both of us. I understand you venting. His FVC breathing test is down to 22%. He just had a PEG put in Thursday. The surgrey about killed him. They had to keep him all night and now that he is home he's still sick and doing nothing for...

Hi Everyone, My husband Joe is going to the Dr on tuesday for a consult for a peg. He really needs the peg. When he was first Dx they said he should make up his mind before he reaches 50% on his FVC test. That has a long time come and gone. He said flat out no peg. Now he is having such...

Hi, Ellie My condolences to you and your family. Rhonda

Hi Zaphoon Joe is on zoloft and lithium. I said he might want them to up the zoloft but he said it makes him feel cold or a lack of feeling with what he is on now. I guess if I was breathing like him I would feel depressed too. Thanks for the imput. Best Rhonda
