Some do get better and the PEG tube is removed. All patients are different. My daughter was on IV feedings off and on several times.

My mother had a peg feeding tube for some time during her recovery from heart surgery. She was also ventilator dependent. She had the feeding tube removed and weaned from the ventilator. She has a trach but eats normally. Everyone is different as we know. The biggest issue was the tube getting clogged on occasion. Just make sure the proper care of the feeding tube.
