Phoenix get a feeding tube


I got this information off of Nick's web site...click here to see a video of Phoenix http://www.nickbarfuss.com/browse.asp?Browse=1&Filter=7&Order=0&Page=1&Id=547

Because of Phoenix's Muscular dystrophy, she has no desire to eat (Much like her brother Isis). Because of her eating poor habits we made the decision to get a stomach peg so we could feed her. This video shows cute and sad little phoenix recovering from her peg operation. You can see how hard of a time she is having breathing. She came out of surgery in a very bad way, and me and Jasmine were quite worried. Her heart rate was in the earky 200's for a few days (Very scary...)

Phoenix has since made a full recovery and she is doing great, today (a few minutes before I posted this video) she just wouldn't stop sayin "UH OH!" (Very cute!)
