What is the best thing that has happened with tube feeding? What benefits have you seen? What progress would you like to celebrate?
I really wanted to do a big long post on this tonight. unfortunately it's that's not going to happen so here's the quick version. When Deklin stopped tolerating feeds he started losing weight. In a matter of months he had dropped dangerously low and the decision was made to switch to a gj tube. Without this tube he would have continued to wither away right before our eyes. His G tube and his gj tube have literally been life savers for him. These pictures were taken about 7 months apart. The one on the left was take shortly after he switched to the gj. He is SLOWLY starting to put weight back on and will hopefully start looking like the picture on the right again soon.
