[quote=Anonymous]I work with a little guy who is 5 and he has a g-tube. his mom loves it and it is great. No more fighting to get food in or liquid in, no more worrying about weight. He still eats orally at all meals but his (limited) intake is supplemented through the tube. The button is very inobtrusive and really no one at school knows he has it. They still go to the feeding clinic to continue to work on taking more by mouth and they work on this at home too but for now the g-tube has really added to the quality of everyone's life. Occasionally the button can get pulled out and has to be put back in - you can be taught to do this, not a huge deal. The guy I work with has only had one infection.[/quote]
