Admission in Cluj
At the beginning of August, Sofia returned to Cluj for an important stage in her gastrostomy care. The device is central to how she receives nutrition, fluids and medication.
The procedure
The gastrostomy replacement was completed successfully. The team monitored Sofia afterwards and the family was able to return home once she was stable.
Why the gastrostomy matters so much
Before tube feeding, Sofia struggled with aspiration, vomiting and getting enough nutrition safely. The gastrostomy has made feeding and medication more reliable and has supported efforts to help her gain weight.
Why the low-profile button comes later
A button-style device is fitted according to the healing and sizing requirements of the stoma. The family follows the treating team’s timing rather than rushing the change.
The road continues
This procedure was one necessary step in the wider preparation for spinal surgery. Sofia still needs daily feeding care, therapy, monitoring and the planned evaluations in Switzerland.
