There are several pros and cons that we have found with Zion Full T-13. The
pros are
#1 we know that he will have the ability to be fed and get sufficient
nutrition
# 2 Medicines do not have to be taken orally and so they are less likely to
spit it out, or up
#3 you can build the feeding schedule around your schedule. she can even eat
while she is sleeping.
The cons
#1 She will have a large plastic device not created by God in her body, this
at times causes severe irritation and sometimes bleeding
#2 It is another peice of Medical equipment to keep supplied and just like
all equipment it does malfunction and break, which can cause stress.
# 3 maneuverability can sometimes be hindered ie.. rolling over, having to
lay in a certain position so that she doesn't leak.
These are a list of some of the pros and cons that we have found.
My advice is that if you have it done get not only a second opinion but a
third and make sure that you are at amedical facility that handles specialty
cases, frequently.
