Nathan has had a g-tube since he was born. He's had several types over the years. Currently he has a MIC-KEY button which I think is the easiest to care for. His is a result of surgical complications from his birth defect. He is bolus fed using a pump 5x a day over an hour each time. He gets 220ml at each feeding. His formula is Peptamin Jr 1.5, the 1.5 means it's a higher calorie formula. Nathan eats nothing, he is 100% tube fed and always has been. At this point we're used to it and it's just another part of who he is. Getting a g-tube is scary and learning how to care for it is scary, but eventually it just becomes part of who they are and you get used to it. I will be at SU if you want to talk or have any questions.
