G-tube info

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! I need some advice. Abby is 4 yrs. old, weighs

21.2 pounds and is 34 inches tall. I believe we are underweight.

However, prior to the diagnosis of RSS Abby's GI doctor said a g-

tube was not necessary because she proportionate with height and

weight. Now with the diagnosis I feel like Abby is underweight and

needs some catch-up growth and to make this possible might be the g-

tube. What do you all think?? Abby has been on growth hormones for

almost three years with a low response to them. This low response

could be due to the lack of cath-up growth. I have moved all of

Abby's doctor appointments up to next week from January to address

all of this now that we have a diagnosis.

Thanks to all of you for all the advice over the last six days. My

husband and I are at peace with your help knowing that Abby is going

to be okay.
