Your com...I love reading your posts on this board. Your comments really hit home for me today and so I thank you. You are so right about wanting our kids to function normally and be accepted... and then having to deal daily with accepting the path that they will travel apart from our typical kids. Amazing.<br /><br />My daughter had a G-tube and it truly became our Best Friend because the reflux issues were curtailed. One thing that I liked about it was that you could not see the tube on her face anymore... so there were fewer stares.<br /><br />We also had the Nissen done a few times as well. It really helped with her failur to thrive and she was able to grow afterward. <br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly with Jessica- it was the best thing we did for her and we have no regrets. It will be ok.<br /><br />Not having unpleasant episodes (reflux) going on will help him to get better at other things... like talking or eating regular food over time. Hugs to you.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201064701178458053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817534420224769131.post-17338848675995087562009-05-14T21:43:00.000-07:002009-05-14T21:43:00.000-07:00It's super late at night, and I'm only operating o...It's super late at night, and I'm only operating on half a brain, so I don't have much of a comment, but what you said is all so true, and something I relate to so well.

I have seen this kid change in so many ways since the surgery in September. He stoped refluxing for the most part, and he started to actually get a little bit better! Since the surg ha has started to babble, crawl and do much better respiratory wise. I know that little josh has different health issues but when a child does not have to deal with this other yucky stuff they can follow there bodies lead, and stop being held back and start there journey forward. Please give me a call if for any reason you are doubting this. I know how it feels, I offten thought how are the docs letting me make this decision, I dont know any thing about anything, but i felt it in my heart and I went with those mama bear feelings.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186105693175131337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817534420224769131.post-45688059078523837842009-05-14T07:46:00.000-07:002009-05-14T07:46:00.000-07:00Thanks for your post.
