A message from the editor

Welcome, friends, to The Blend.

When my son got a gastrostomy tube and was prescribed a diet that wasn’t working, the tube-feeding community saved us.

In telling stories from this diverse and creative group of people, families and innovators, my hope is to impart a truth: tube feeding is different for everyone. Getting it right can take a bit of trial and error and a lot of trusting your gut.

With love – and disproportionately
strong thumbs, 

Melanie Dimmitt
