Feeding Tube, G-Tube...all good names ...Cynthia - <br /><br />Feeding Tube, G-Tube...all good names :).<br /><br />Karsie will have the G-Tube button for a few years. They won't close that up until probably the closure surgery, which may be a while yet, to make sure she can still get nutrition if needed. However, each time we go to the G.I. doctors we usually make a step toward not having the tube. Right now the better she gets at eating by mouth the closer she is to not having to eat by tube. They will begin condensing her feedings (just like she did a long time ago when she had the tube in her nose and they fed her once every three hours) soon and will continue to get it down over the next few months. <br /><br />Eventually she will be eating solids by mouth and we believe once she is eating the nutrition she needs by mouth we will just put the plug on her G-tube button and she won't use a feeding tube. The button will just stay in her abdomen to keep the track there (kid of like an earring) until the doctors are comfortable with her weight gain and eating to close that up.KARSIE GENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272851602496681858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532784668262435329.post-46419310102909352632010-02-19T18:46:49.167-08:002010-02-19T18:46:49.167-08:00What a beautiful little girl.
