Daniels Story

Hi all, my name is Daniel Green and I was born in 1996, I am jejunostomy fed. When I was born, half my oesophagus was missing and I had a gastrostomy tube fitted on day 1.  Two months later, I had my stomach moved up behind my chest to join it to my oesophagus.

At this time, a jejunostomy tube was fitted.  My parents were told that I would be able to eat normally within a few weeks.  Years down the line and I am still not eating enough to survive on!

I connect my feed at about 7.30am and finish feeding about 3.30pm depending whether I have had a break (for PE, etc).  I have found that I am not as sick at night if I feed during the day.

I have just started secondary school and the change has not been a bad one.  I am doing very well in school and have been put on the gifted and talented register.

I love going to Scouts, camping, on holidays and drama and have been in a lot of shows.
