Such a gre...I am so impressed with you and Nathan! Such a great team:) I agree completely that having an artificial way to feed a child should never be part of your blessings list. It shouldn't even be part of your knowledge base. My friend's daughter used her tube for about 3 years. Now at age 7, has been tube free for 2 years and doing great. I've still got my fingers crossed that the NG tube will give his digestive tract the rest it needed and he's looking great at his next endoscopy!Funky Food Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171787519141815861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100005378376291229.post-17469604181636293222011-05-19T15:47:43.752-04:002011-05-19T15:47:43.752-04:00Isn't it crazy how much you can handle as time...Isn't it crazy how much you can handle as time progresses? We are getting an NG tube placed in about an hour. Before I would cringe at the thought of having to tube feed him, now we are embracing it with open arms.<br /><br />Yay for placing the tube by yourself. :)Momma Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243195360977994730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100005378376291229.post-49432127625616965032011-05-19T12:33:58.221-04:002011-05-19T12:33:58.221-04:00It's strange to imagine how a surgically place...It's strange to imagine how a surgically placed feeding tube into your child's stomach can be a blessing, but that is what we have heard over and over again. We are, as any parent would be, a bit nervous about it, as we were the NG tube. But we know with time it will be our new normal and it won't be such a big deal!<br /><br />By the way... I put Nathan's NG tube back in by myself this morning... he laid so still for me, and he didn't even cry. I am so proud of him! A month and a half ago, I would have been a major wreck and probably wouldn't have even attempted it. Just another reminder that I can handle anything I need to when it comes to taking care of our sweet Nathan. A mother's love is an amazing and powerful thing.Nathan's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846410600019242457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100005378376291229.post-42052586452233216502011-05-19T11:48:46.059-04:002011-05-19T11:48:46.059-04:00G-tubes are a blessing!
