Dana Thank you. Thankfully she is feeling much better since yesterday. I can't wait for the tape to be removed. The site where they stitched her is very...
Michelle Thank you. There are times when I don't feel so strong like when they put her under. I just felt like crawling under a chair or running away from it...
Thanks Robin, Sadly, we're in New Zealand and we only have the choice of the solution (in a sodium bicarb base - so really bitter!) or the capsules which you...
Wow, that really stinks. Don't take it personal, but your country sounds a little messed up when it comes to the meds :-( Then again all countries have...
Carissa has been doing the same thing lately and she is supposedly safe with certain solids. It seems like the food is sticking to her tongue and mouth though....
I'm thinking you may need to try about 4 ounces of OJ with it for it to absorb and you're not supposed to give iron within an hour of consumption of anything...

Thanks - but Thomas is cow's milk protein and soy allergic - so no yogurt, puddings are hard, no icecream etc. We used pureed fruit until he rejected that -...
Eleanor, Is there a reason you have to give the iron and previcid at different times??? Silas was just started on an iron supplement and they didn't tell me...

To All, Â Â I'm cross-posting, so forgive the dual message. I just have a quick question for all of you mothers of g-tube children. My 12 month old daughter...
We received our G-tube within 2 weeks of deciding it needed to be done. It actually would have been sooner if there had not been complications with the...
Amanda, Hang in their. It will get better I hope. I don't know what I'm talking about really dylan was never tube fed, but I do know what you talk about...
The iron comes with a note not to give with various things including antacids (ironically it also says not to be given with iron but I’m not quite sure how...
