Dylan is going for his G-Tube

[Jane]

Getting the g-tubes for our boys (4 years ago) was the best decision we made. But the time before and after the surgery was very difficult emotionally for the boys (and us). It takes a while to make peace with it. Both boys went through a period of depression and sadness. It worked out for them, but it was definately a low point.

I really understand how you feel. Its not easy to see your child go through this even though it is the right thing for them.

Best wishes for a smooth transition.

Well good luck with the surgery. My oldest son got his about 2 years ago when he was 6 and it has done wonders. You will be amazed at how much your child will "fill out". The surgery is not a big deal and the recovery is also pretty quick. Keep us updated on how things go and remember your and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Thanks you all, I know this is the best decision for him. He just wants to be normal and play football like all his friends. He didnt make the weight requirements this year anyway and also he was suppose to have his surgery early September so we didnt enroll him to begin with. After taking him to his Ped surgeon we realized at that point that he couldnt have played anyway because of his weight. Next year he will. That is our goal.
Being 10 years old he is taking more of this in then we realized. Just out of the blue this morning when he was getting ready for school he comes to and says "am I going to die mamma?" OMG!!! Where in the hell did that come from???? I simply looked at him and said "No". I didnt know what to say...for the first time in my LIFE I was speechless. I told him that everyone dies at some point but usually not till they are much much much older then him.
My heart is breaking so much for him.....
