My son that is now 8 years old actually came home with a ng tube b/c he needed a little extra help. He only had it for about a month and then they removed it. He now has a g tube in his belly and it is a blessing. He has had it for about 2 years now and there is no more pushing him to eat.

They actually just upped it to 3 cans of Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC and 2 cans of CIB Plus that he gets all at night. The dietician decided this and he has actually gained a pound in the last week. He gets the majority of the calories he needs for the day through this so it is not such a push to get him to eat. He is 8 and doesn't get the importance. Hope all goes well. Keep us posted.

We are back from the hospital with our NG tube in! It went pretty well. Avery obviously gagged and choked when it went down, but was not bothered by it after about 5 minutes. She is still the smiley and friendly little lady we had before! Now we are ready to have a FAT lady!! We have our appointment for the surgeon that will be placing the G-tube this week. We should have the G-tube in a week or two.
