It might be a good resource for you. Glad to hear that everything is going so well other than the feeding issues.vicki cooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863093970891504746.post-33055452270791954182011-02-01T11:51:30.462-05:002011-02-01T11:51:30.462-05:00So nice to read your posts from home.

I still dont dislike it as much as I did at one time because i know we could head back to the hospital at any time. With Gabby's heart condition I know throwing up is very commom is it all heart defects? I am not sure but Caleb knowing he is home and feeling the love of his family will keep those smiles coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863093970891504746.post-36933410239523813272011-01-31T06:50:01.827-05:002011-01-31T06:50:01.827-05:00Unfortunately, the NG tube isn't just an optio...Unfortunately, the NG tube isn't just an option for Caleb right now, it's a necessity.Aunt Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863093970891504746.post-31019866613434331832011-01-31T06:38:41.341-05:002011-01-31T06:38:41.341-05:00HI Jen,

He threw up sometimes 7 or more times a day, and at times it shot out several feet!!! He had acid reflux. All of this to say, maybe this is normal for this condition?? Eventually he did quit, thankfully. I know you're well aware of this, but having the ng tube for so long might lead to eating and speech problems down the road. With Wesley, they kept it in for 6 months until they finally did a stomach button. One nurse told his mom that they never should have had it in so long. He had to take speech therapy also because he didn't use his mouth muscles. But I see Caleb using the pacifier, which Wesley wouldn't take, so that might help a lot. I'm not saying this to discourage you, just to maybe avoid some problems. So glad he's doing so well, and I pray for him continually. And you seem to be A GOOD MOM!!Kathie Huhnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863093970891504746.post-51353151761494130062011-01-31T00:03:01.506-05:002011-01-31T00:03:01.506-05:00One thing you are not - "a bad mom" :)One thing you are not - "a bad mom" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
