My daughter had a very hard time eating. She was always just a hair off of the weight mark that would have gotten her tube fed. As she got older new issues creeped up and during a sleep study (she was 3 years old) it was discovered that she had a floppy airway, most likely part of her body that was affected by CP. The doctor suggested that we have her tonsils and adenoids removed to give her more room, making it easier for her to breathe and eat. I refused.<BR/><BR/>When she was 5 years old she started having constant infections in her tonsils. We saw a new ENT (we had just moved to a new state) and he explained to me that it was time to take the tonsils and adenoids out. The benefits were now outweighing the risks. <BR/><BR/>In the few months following the surgery she gained 6 pounds! She doesn't choke nearly as much and her reflux is better (no one has figured this one out yet). <BR/><BR/>Just a thought. I can fully understand where you are at right now!ThePreemie Experimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882375368535807238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701351.post-1169785272922857592007-01-25T20:21:00.000-08:002007-01-25T20:21:00.000-08:00Well the good news is she is gaining weight!!

She'll have an OT evaluation and possibly see the nuero and an ortho after that.Munkeesmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195808051072476926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701351.post-1169699322272319982007-01-24T20:28:00.000-08:002007-01-24T20:28:00.000-08:00I am so glad to hear she is on the growth charts n...I am so glad to hear she is on the growth charts now!
