FEEDING-TUBE....NOV.2.2011

Yes, we were going back and forth whether or not to go with the feeding tube. Aliyah was eating again. She was no longer throwing up and enjoying what she was taking in. So we decided to cancel the surgery appointment for the G-Tube placement... But soon enough after 1 week of eating her meals she began to throw up. The kept on telling us it was her body rejecting it.


Dr. Joshi called and told us it was either putting in the G-tube or no diet and going with a new treatment of Vigabratin. We believed in the diet so much we agreed to go with the feeding tube just so Aliyah could stay with the diet.

On Nov.2.11 Aliyah was under anesthesia to have her g-tube placed. When she woke up she was very irritable. Nothing calmed her down, she kept on wanting to hit her head.

When we were discharged half of her meals were solids and half of her meals was the Keto Cal formula. We no longer had to fight her to drink her cream or medicine. All liquids went through her tube.
