Well since all of you have gone through this, do you feel that you should be agressive with the doctors, or go with what they recommend? So far I am getting extremely frustrated. The feeding tube has given her nothing but pain and problems. We spent several hours at the er the day after it was put in and they detected nothing. The next day she went back to the doctor who put it in and it was too tight and there was an infection around it. so they put her on antibiotics but didnt seem to help. today she went back to the doctor and they are saying it is a viral infection, took her off of the previous antibiotics and gave her something stronger. I thought having this in and done would be a good thing before starting treatments, but it seems like a real hassle. did anyone else encounter these problems? thanks jw
