Daily life was stressful. The constant question: Will Ilias eat enough today? He MUST; the doctors are threatening to place a feeding tube. But, another surgery? Why? He is eating. He is not losing weight. BUT, he is simply not gaining weight adequately.
That WE were right and not the doctors. We believed in our child but were told that it would not be enough. The NoTube Team strengthened our thought process and our actions and gave us the courage and sense of ease that allowed us to motivate our Ilias to eat (more).
It has become easier. We have gained greater trust, and Ilias will even have something to eat when we are away from our house. We are no longer bound to our house during mealtimes.
The scale moved in the right direction. My child had gained weight.
