Feeding Tube

Last night we had the Home Health Nurse attempt to put in a feeding tube. She was unsuccessful :( and had us go to Children’s Mercy ER (downtown KCMO) to get it put in right. It was a long night, but we got the tube put in and are now able to get Gabe a full feed even if he won’t suck it down himself. Hopefully it will only be short term and get Gabe over the hump of not gaining weight and eating better.

Below are some pictures prior to the feeding tube going in.
