As for the tube that is surgically inserted, it is not a major operation and it really helps. My son had one and it made the difference in him living, growing, and getting on track to where he needed to be. It will give her the nutrition she needs while allowing her to not become to tired and loose the weight and growth she already has. He had the tube for a few months, then it was removed and he has not needed it again. I hope this helps, if only a little.

I am glad to hear that she is doing well with the oxygen.

Hugs,
