[tri-med] Re: considering a g-tube


<<He weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz. at
birth, went home from the hospital at 6 wks. weighing
7 lbs. and was 
almost
20 lbs. by his first bday.  I credit this weight gain
to the g-tube, I
might not be right, but Morgan could never have gained
weight like that
without it.>>

We used Faren's g-tube from the time she was 7 weeks
til she was 3 months.  It was a complete disaster in
my opinion.  And although she eats very very well, she
still hasn't hit the 20 lb mark yet.  She is teetering
around 19 lbs and is 2 1/2 years old!!!  She only
gains about 1 lb every 3 months these days.  Geesh,
all I want to do is turn that darn car seat around!
