 Topic: Jackson is tube free!
Posted: 07 August 2009 at 5:15pm |
|
Oh my god I am sh*tting myself!
Jackson pulled his tube today, so we decided to start early with the weaning and not replace it.
At the same time, the paediatricians have told me to stop concentrating his formula, and stop adding extra calories with the additive we've been using.
I feel like all our safety nets have been removed at once! His weight is going to plummet, but hopefully his body will start to realise that he needs to eat. That's the theory, but will it work?
I am so, so scared that he won't eat. Terrified doesn't even come close to describing how I feel.
I need everyone's thoughts/prayers/wishes - you name it I'll take it. It's going to be a rocky few days.... weeks?... until we know which way things are going to go.
Oh my.

Thanks for the replies guys. Scared, scared, scared!!
NikkiB, have you become a member of the Tube Fed Kids forum? I have met the most amazing, supportive bunch of women who completely understand what I am going through. I might be falling apart right now if it weren't for them.
The focus is getting the kids off the tubes, but there are a number of women still tube feeding as well.
The website is: here

Thanks for all the support guys! Jackson has eaten awfully this afternoon, but apparently the first few days is the worst of all.
I may be on here crying for the next week. Put up with me please!
