I mean, it's a stretch. I mean, it becomes a bit of an ethical question where we've had, you know, these these families who say, you know, we understand the risk and we still want them to taste something that they love. It becomes very difficult. But truth is the physical ability to eat a potato chip is. Um, is questionable.

I mean, I've had, I've had patients tell me things like, oh, you know, I ate a whole this in one day, or they come in and they just talk about like their favorite foods and their favorite restaurants and their favorite this. And you kind of can feel the tension in the room. Cause it's like, they've been on TPN for five years. Like how would they remember going to these, right?

I mean, like things just start to unravel a little bit that this is a kid who probably does love eating at McDonald's. But if they say that, why are they on TPN? I mean, it's, it's just, it's questionable.

Because they can't eat by mouth, then they try a tube, the tube feeds the stomach, it still doesn't work, then we can actually feed the intestines, right? With a different type of tube, that doesn't work or there's a risk to doing so. So for instance, you just had a big abdominal surgery and your gut just isn't ready yet. You use TPN.

TPN is often a bridge, meaning like to get back to some type of feed through the stomach or the intestines. Kids with... very severe conditions where they don't have enough gut to absorb all this nutrition become TPN dependent for life. The thing is TPN has risk factors.

TPN will cause liver damage over time just because our bodies aren't meant to be fed, you know, in this way and can cause liver failure actually at some point. And it's just, having a line that can get infected, that can cause sepsis, that can clot and cause blood clots. There are so many risks to it that you take it under very strong consideration.
