Wes’ Latham was placed July 19th by Dr. Shirley. This has been a difficult experience due to the pain from the device and an ear infection Wes has had some difficulties eating. It has torn my heart to pieces seeing him in pain and not being able to take it all away. The morning of his his surgery he weighed 13lbs 1oz, three weeks later he has gained some weight and is now 12lbs 8oz. With just four days before this device is removed he has developed a sore on his tongue from the bar on the back part of the device, which has made feedings nearly impossible.

The difference the Latham has made is so reassuring. Even his Pediatrician is amazed with the results.
