Not doing G-tube now

Surgical bookings managed to contact Raphael's Paediatrician and have received advice to hold off on performing the G-tube surgery. From another source I heard a rumour that it is very difficult to perform a PEG on a child this young, keyhole surgery for this procedure is not offered at RHH, and a laparotomy procedure could take 6 hours and so entails considerable risk for a child with general anaesthetic problems.
