In April 2023, our lives were forever changed when our beloved daughter was born with a congenital heart defect. Our dreams and expectations of parenthood quickly transformed into struggles, tears, and constant fear for her life. At just five weeks old, after significant weight loss, she began receiving nutrition solely through an NG tube. This was a completely new reality for us. While she finally started gaining weight, tube feeding brought its own set of challenges. Desperately seeking a way to make life a bit easier, we searched for an app to assist us but found nothing that met our needs. At seven months old, our daughter underwent a successful heart surgery. Her recovery was swift, and her need for tube feeding lasted only a few more weeks. We were incredibly fortunate, but we know this isn't the case for everyone. Once our lives settled into a new normal, I began developing a tube feeding companion app based on our experiences and the gaps we identified during our journey. This app is more than just a tool; it's a labor of love inspired by our journey. It's designed to support other families facing similar challenges, offering a solution we desperately sought to make those difficult moments a bit easier. Our daughter's strength and resilience inspire us every day. Through this app, we hope to ease the life of other families on similar journeys.
