I've actually been ...I never mind suggestions! I've actually been thinking about a feeding tube. We can't see the GI until the 16th, so that is not a discussion point yet. A feeding tube has been a possibility (or actuality) DQ's entire life. She's managed to keep it away since it was removed as an infant because she has always gained just enough to appease her GI doc. As of today, she has lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks (about 10% of her body weight). I'm guessing a g tube may be on the table. I don't know how well it will work though since she usually vomits anything that goes beyond what she feels her stomach can handle. I don't know if they'd do a J tube or a GJ. She loves food; she just feels full all of the time and nauseated. I'm at a loss.<br /><br />Thank you for checking in on us!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148983594692927783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988524040957212858.post-76081880082882095782014-07-09T06:39:53.635-04:002014-07-09T06:39:53.635-04:00I hate to suggest it but would a feeding tube be a...I hate to suggest it but would a feeding tube be an option? It's not ideal, but would that help? It's helped my daughter more than I thought possible. I am probably wrong to try to solve problems that really can't be fixed.
