Woman’s stomach paralysis forces her to eat through her chest
- A young woman's stomach became paralyzed due to a rare condition called gastroparesis, which prevented food from moving into her intestines.
- Her condition is severe enough that she requires feeding through a Hickman line connected to her chest for 12 hours a day, five days a week.
- She receives Total Parenteral Nutrition directly into her bloodstream using a Micrel pump that she carries.
- Doctors informed her that she needed this treatment because she was starving to death, and experts have described her use of TPN feeding as extremely rare.
