[quote=Anonymous]...or anything really... I have a 2 year old on weekly chemo treatments who needs to gain weight. We recently removed his ng tube, which he has had for a year. He got it when we thought a lack of weight gain was due to gastro issues and then we discovered the true cause--a brain tumor. We were distracted with major health issues for a while but he is now stable and doing well. We removed the tube hoping that he would start eating and drinking well on his own. He eats fairly well (mostly cheese and meat) but will only drink mostly water (an occasional swallow of juice). Any advice from anyone? He doesn't like the fortified juices and won't eat stuff like ice cream/milk shakes. He lost over a pound in the week since he has been off the tube so just trying to give him a chance at avoiding a stomach tube or more ng tube... Any words of wisdom related to anything similar are welcome...[/quote]
