Tube Feeding Attitudes

Today's topic: How has your attitude/family/friends' attitudes changed towards tube feeding? What has awareness of the positive benefits done to change perceptions? I'm not sure that many of our friends or family have changed their minds. A few see it as a necessary evil, a few think it's too scary to think about, and a few just hope that ignoring it will make it go away. It's kind of hard to argue with results though, and Acorn is proof that tube feeding can work wonders - he was below 3% for size when he was born, and he's now around 40% for actual age, and above 50% for adjusted age.

  1. It's wonderful what it has done for Acorn. It of course is nothing anyone really wants to voluntarily go through but it's great is available when needed.
