My Son Has Been In The NICU At Medical City

My son has been in the NICU at medical city in Dallas for over 5 months. He was born at 24 and 5. they just found less then a month ago that it was silent aspiration all this time causing his lungs to never get any better. The doc said it was his last resort to place a nasoduodenal transpyloric tube to the intestine and also start continuous feeds. he said he was only doing this because the pulmonologist would ask before doing a trach.

The pulmonologist decided a nissen with g-tube was his best bet.

well now that same doctor that just comenced to wait on a trach is trying to push him out the door and hes obvious not ready.

Anyone have any idea on what should or could have been done ?
