The past few days Kaden has been really laid back when feeding him by his tube.Which is a real blessing.Yesterday we went to Dundee for a bit of retail therapy and had a spot of lunch at a great Chinese by the harbour.As we were about to leave i decided to change Kadens nappy as its not so easy to change him in the car - it's so funny the conversations you get into when you go to the ladies room!I was changing Kaden and left the door open and this little boy came in with his grannie.He came straight over and said hi and then politly i asked him his name and how old he was.Ben was his reply and his Grannie said he's 3 but he has a feeding problem - so he's very small for his age.I said to the Grannie my son also had a problem with feeding and had a tube to feed him in his tummy,to which she said Ben also has a Gastrostomy (So there we both were in the ladies room lifting up our Boys t/shirts showing off their G-tubes!!)when i went back into the restraunt the grannie came over with the mum to introduce her to us.We had a great chat about our boys and their problems feeding and she said how nice it was to meet someone else who understood.As people looking from the outside in dont quiteunderstand unless they've been through it or are going through it.She also mentioned the docs have spoken about a fundo for Ben but she wasn't quite sure about it.I can only recommend one from our point of veiw as it has really benefitted Kaden - but everyone has their own decision to make and do what they think is best for their child!.Here's Kaden asleep in his jumperoo at lunchtime today.
