[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with 18:13. Our daughter is 2.5, and has had a feeding tube since the was 2 weeks old (first through the nose, and then a month later a mickey button in the stomach). Yes, I remember that on some level it feels like you are "giving up" and waving the white flag if you go ahead and agree to the feeding tube. HOWEVER in retrospect, it's probably one of the best things we could have done for her nutrition wise. I don't know how old your daughter is, but her and her brain need proper nutrition to develop properly. The tube gets you that nutrition. It doesn't mean the tube will suddenly make your daughter "normal," however it does mean you'll be doing all you can to help her get the best nutrition she need to grow that you can. What more could a parent want than that?[/quote]
