anyone!!!!????

Usually they prefer to do a fundo when they do a g-tube anyway.. Its not 
mandatory but it is preferred.
I am curious as to why he doesn't think it would work. It has been brilliant 
with Alex.
Also why he is even thinking that they would consider a gj tube. They are great 
if needed but a straight g tube is much more
preferable if that will suffice. GJ feedings need to be virtually continuous 
which is much more work, much more limiting etc.
Sorry that all I have is more questions sweet and that its not the pep talk you 
wanted.

If you look up, there are no limits.
