[tri-med] Re: Nestle Additions/Weight Gain

essential fatty acids.  i buy gel caps by natural factors and clip the oil
into kam's tube feeds.  karen has lots of data about giving kids efa.
i struggled with placement of the gtube until kam got very sick at 15 months
and just needed it to live.  it has been the best thing ever for her and the
rest of the family.

the doctor said Gtube last Wed, "no" came out automatically and then I
realized I was shaking my head no, and told him I would refuse one, he said
that lack of weight gain vs the development of her brain, he would put one
in. My husband said no when we talked of her appt. But for John I understand
his decision, he lost his son JT, he was 3.5 yrs old from 4p- many years
ago, JT had a tube, pump, and more. I can sense his wall going up because he
sees the Gtube as a step back for Genevieve and preparing himself for what
he thinks is inevitable. So I am struggling to be positive for both of
us....
