We all agree the peg tube is needed. I hope the placement went well. It certainly will allow more feeding. I will alert Brett Theeler at Walter Reed to help look after Beau there.

I agree with Al that a change in venue should be good. Although LOL I don't know if you know but was down to 130 pounds and is 6 foot. He's quite thin and on a good day only took in about 900calories. And that was with a lot of pushing. I still think the peg tube is needed.

Howard sent me a great picture Friday of Beau checking emails. Hope he can get more calories and protein in and get less tired.
I will be in Phoenix the next 2 days. I will check with Jon re the decadron tapering tomorrow. I like to wait till he get stronger before making the next move. But we may not want to wait too long.
