new feeding tube
six months have gone by since our little girl had her feeding tube put in. brooklyn has come such a long way since then! she now eats EVERYTHING orally, and only receives tube feedings overnight to help her get all of her required fluids. like her mama, she doesn't like the taste of milk and would prefer anything else! because of this, and to get her through her first winter sick season successfully, she had a different tube inserted into her belly yesterday. this is a smaller tube, and one that doesn't stick out as much - yay! we call it her big girl tube, and are hopeful that she will be tube free in the spring!
here is a photo of her in her adorable little hospital gown!!
