At birth, Audrey's cysts did not cause any problems with feeding or breathing. The doctors decided to wait until she got bigger before she had any treatments. The only difficulties she has was not being able to nurse. When she arrived in the NICU they gave her an NG feeding tube (feeding tube through the nose) and feed her that way until we arrived since they knew we were attempting to breast feed. After I arrived, she would no longer nurse. The cysts in her tongue made her tongue a little larger and pushed it up into the top of her mouth which made it too much work for her to nurse. Thankfully, she could feed from a fast flowing bottle.
