Tube weaning - we start January 10th

We have our doctor's approval to do a full blown wean - meaning that we will be reducing his tube feeds by 10% daily for five days, then staying at 50% for 3-5 days and then reducing another 10% daily until we get to 0%.  We hope to see an increase in oral intake during the 50% days.   I will post more about our progress later.  We've based our weaning plan on the Graz model used at the Children's Hospital in Graz, Austria.
