Feeding clinic the good bad ugly?

[Guest guest]

We have been recommend to do a inpatient 8 week feeding clinic to

start to wean off the g-tube. has any one done this and what was

your experience.

We have done some OT/SP before the g-tube was place 5/29/03. Tori

is getting some OT in the school setting. Takes a little food in by

mouth but not much. We have done periatin but stopped it the

12/17/03 until she is more interested in eating. After stopping it

she has been putting more food in her mouth.

Is it better to start with outpatient and then if need be do

inpatient? Just the though of being in the hospital that long I

don't like. But still looking into it.

Any input would be helpful
