Christine,
I know, it does seem like it would hurt for that big bubble to come through that little hole, but it doesn’t – he doesn’t even cry! They told us when he first got it that the bubble inside his tummy is stretchy, and his tummy & skin are stretchy too, so that’s why it doesn’t hurt. (??)
Anyway, I really can’t complain about my in-laws. They’re always really good about watching the boys when we need them too, and try to help out in any way they can… just not with the tube feeding. MIL is scared to death of it. Oh well. I can’t imagine having my family as far away as yours! That must be really hard. So are you originally from NY?
I can’t believe your MIL told you that she wouldn’t move nearby because she didn’t want to baby-sit!! Of course, I guess people like that, you probably wouldn’t want watching your kids anyway.
Sue,
Yes! It would be nice to have a friend with a similar situation living nearby.
Thanks to everyone else too!
