Bummer! The hospital has sent us a letter to say that Immie's op is being put back. We're disappointed as we had been preparing for it and we have no date as to when it is likely to be. Hope it isn't too long.

Gastrostomy
Hi all,
Imogen will soon be going to Pendlebury hospital - 25th January - to have a gastrostomy fitted. This is due to her not eating and that the nasal tube is getting a bit of a problem. It seems to be coming up more often when she is sick The process of putting the tube up her nose and down her throat is horrible, Immie hates it.
She will be fitted with a peg straight into the stomach allowing us to hook her feed up to the peg. Hopefully then she will feel more comfortable and be encouraged to feed herself. if anyone has experience of a peg let us know. We are not worried about the peg, just a little about the op, but that's natural I suppose.
Immie is more mobile now and in bed at night when the feeding pump is attached, she easily gets it wrapped arond her neck. It's time to get rid of it.
Immie is well at the mo, a bit of a snuffle but nothing major. just means her oxy tube gets gunked with snot...yummy.
She is starting to say "da da" when asked who I am. Linz is miffed that asking her who she is she can't say "ma ma". Linz is "bu ba". Immie knows Daddy is best! Daddy's girl.
See ya,
Baz
