I just saw your post about a feeding tube from over the weekend.  One of my guys has a gtube and I can honestly say it's the best decision MH and I could have made for our little guy.  I wish we would have done it sooner.  

I just wrote a post yesterday for Feeding Tube Awareness Week on the preemie blog.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I'll be happy to answer them Smile

    We just got home with our NG tube and started doing continuous feeds at night. She needs to get 24 oz during the day whatever she doesn't take in orally she'll get via the tube at night. We also set up a visiting nurses service to help us with the tube management for now.

    I am still being optomistic that this is a short-term thing and that she just needs her stomach stretched a bit and more food to really grow. Thanks!

    I'm glad you were able to leave the hospital with an NG tube.  I hope that your tube is short-lived Smile
