Hi!
We did end up pulling Claire's tube a month ago (I know I am sooo behind, sorry!). There were no complications and it has healed. No stitches were needed-it closed completely on its own. She does have a rather large scar, but we are leaving it alone for now. The hope is it will get smaller as she grows. We may consider doing something about it later, but the pediatrician says now is not the time to even begin to think about that. She had the feeding tube for over two years so a scar like hers is to be expected.
So we continue to progress.....she is doing wonderfully, and we couldn't have asked for better progress. Just last week a lady from the church who watched her in September and then again last week said she is a completely different child! She could not believe how much progress Claire has made! Sometimes I think Jonathan and I forget since we see her everyday, but we hear that from so many people, especially those who do not see her on a regular basis.
We are thankful that she continues to do well and is such a happy child! Medical science is an amazing thing!!!
