(( hugs ))
My daughter was tube fed for about 3 months, she had 2 heart defects and after arriving at Childrens Hospital her bowels ruptured. So when we got sent home after all her surgeries she came home being tube fed and with a colostomy bag. It wasn't really too bad,except that due to her bowel problems she had to have a feeding every 2 hrs, 24 hrs a day, so it was more than your normal sleep deprivation. I'm sure they have more state of the art pumps than they did 6 1/2 yrs ago, but mine was a PIA , it annoyed me so much lol! The way the hospital set it up for us, our supplies were delivered to our front door, and if we needed anything extra we just called in advance.
I hope that everything goes good at your appointment.
