Because of surgical removal of most her small intestine, she is unable to digest and absorb food normally. This resulted in the need of nutritional support of (TPN)and enteral feeding through a tube in her stomach. At the age of four she was able to have the central line removed and was completly dependent on enteral feeding of Petaman Jr.

I hate Insurence companys!!!
Why is it sooooooo hard to get what your child needs and have the insurence pay for it? The insurence company would rather spend millions on her TPN and central line but they do not consider medical food necessary. Boy I thought it would e easy sailing when the lines came out. Nope what a rude wake up call. Now she is more stable the insurence co. what to give you the boot.
