I think half the battle with feeding tubes is the stigma most parents have - if doctors and society in general viewed it more as we do - a helpful (and sometimes life saving ) tool, I think parents would have a lot more ease making these decisions. No complaints yet! :)Molly and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628604964813380274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603106951187087392.post-32376903154180118042013-05-13T01:35:36.044-04:002013-05-13T01:35:36.044-04:00I used to work for the company who makes the tubes...I used to work for the company who makes the tubes! Parents would send us wonderful pictures and stories about their children. I know it's not something anyone wants to have to do for the child but thank goodness it's an option and it will make life easier for you all! I pray for Meagan often! :)TheFiveDayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681462700484838941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603106951187087392.post-30663849280515668132013-05-12T19:19:05.962-04:002013-05-12T19:19:05.962-04:00Hi Jaclyn - wow.

Depending on a lot of factors they may put forth a weight gain plan for you all to work on with a g-tube discussion in the future, or they may suggest a g-tube up front. If you have any questions you are more than welcome to message me anytime!

I wanted to give her a shot but also did not want it to drag on and make eating a negative experience. She's actually eating table foods better now with her g-tube than she was before without it. It has been a very positive and helpful tool for us.Molly and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628604964813380274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603106951187087392.post-15840733580833360082013-05-02T17:04:20.373-04:002013-05-02T17:04:20.373-04:00Glad the g-tube surgery went well and that you fee...Glad the g-tube surgery went well and that you feel good about this step. I've been fighting to keep Ellie off of a g-tube but I'm thinking of giving up the fight. On Tuesday she had a shunt revision (only her second thank goodness) and between the slow failure and the surgery she has lost quite a bit of hard fought for weight (she is nearly 4 and weighs 20.5 lbs). I grow very weary of fighting the calorie fight. Your positive attitude about the tube is very helpful to me to read.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851045926178254500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603106951187087392.post-24745985853107776352013-05-01T21:17:25.115-04:002013-05-01T21:17:25.115-04:00Hi there, I was directed to your blog from an onli...Hi there, I was directed to your blog from an online friend. I am in the process of adopting a little boy with Hydrocephalus. He is 6 years old and weighs 19 lbs..... I imagine a g tube may be in our future as well.... I would love to chat with you if you get a chance since I know very little about hydro other than what I have read onlineJaclyn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028565353593886797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603106951187087392.post-45034795372232204782013-04-27T09:22:36.648-04:002013-04-27T09:22:36.648-04:00Just checking in on you guys- so happy all went we...Just checking in on you guys- so happy all went well.
