Re: Latest on Isaac - Mimi

[Guest guest]

Hi Mimi!

I just wanted to say that we've all had months like this with our kids. I

know that Isaac didn't gain much, but the bright side is that he DID gain!

We had so many times when would lose weight that we started to

cringe any time a weigh-in was due.

I know how scary the thought of a g-tube can be, but I wanted to reassure

you that it's not as bad as you imagine it to be. had his g-tube

placed when he was 8.5 months of age, and I can only say that it's been such

a relief, knowing that he's getting the calories he needs on a consistent

basis. True, G-tubes come with their own set of problems, but they can also

be a real source of comfort, too! And imagine our surprise, when after all

our earlier struggles with weight gain, we heard that he was " too fat " at

the convention last year! LOL

Just wanted you to know that you're not alone in your worries.

Hi Mimi!

I wanted to agree with Pat on this one. Issac did gain not lose.

I'm at the point where I don't care what Pippin's weight is. But

before her G-tube all I did was obsess about her weight gain (better

yet-- her lack of). Pippin was 4 months when she got her GT. And I

can honestly tell you that it saved her life, my marriage, and my

older daughters quality of life, etc...we all are just much happier

not fighting Pippin to eat and knowing that she is healthy, happy and

thriving. I know the thought of the GT is VERY overwhelming, but

there is a bright side also. See you in less than 2 weeks.
