[blparent] Question- requesting assistance

[Tracey Turri]

Doesn't Declen have a feeding tube all ready?  If so, why are they
moving to implant a surgical tube in his stomach?  Are they expecting
his feeding problems to continue?
The reason I'm asking is because when I was a kid I had to have a
nazogastric (spelling) tube in my nose for a time, and acording to my
surgen it would be a lot easier for my parents to handle and keep
starel, both of my parents are also blind.
If Declens feeding issues are expected to continue in the long turm I
don't know witch one would be better for him.  I just figured I would
let you know that you should be able to take him home on an external
feeding tube.
I will be keeping your family in prayer, and if you have any
questions, you can contact me off list.
