[quote=Anonymous]My son had a ng-tube and g-tube and lots of feeding issues. I am sorry you have to deal with this - it is so hard. (My son is an ex-preemie and was in vent for almost two years and lots of other things - but feeding was the hardest.). Just know that an NG-tube is not a permanent solution. It will cause damage to the nasal passage ways if used for too long (months). And yes, if it gets dislodged and you are unaware (you’ll be taught to check it) food could go into the lungs. You have to do what you have to do to get her to grow - but also know that tube feedings will take away any desire she has to eat because she will never be hungry so you may have to go through feeding therapy after a while and after her weight it up. You know your daughter best - all of it is hard. Good Luck.[/quote]
