Sophie's Story: Tube Feeding and Cystic Fibrosis

Like a lot of kids with cystic fibrosis, Sophie had a difficult time gaining weight. At one point, her father took several months off of work, so that he could focus on getting his daughter the extra calories she needed. But nothing seemed to work.

In this video, Sophie and her parents discuss the pressures of mealtime and how their daughter's health has benefited from gastrostomy tube feedings.
