First cast off! Anyone casting with a G-tube?

[Guest guest]

We are casting with Dr. C in Philly and I just removed 's first cast last

weekend! Yes, I did it myself with the tinner snips and it was not hard at all!

I meticulously scheduled all of 's check-ups and procedures on Monday and

Tuesday so the cast could go back on Wed. Unfortunately, one procedure turned

into a two-night hospital stay and we missed our casting appointment. Now we

can't get back in until next week! I REALLY hope we don't lose the progress from

the first cast - if there even was any.

On top of that, the hospital increased his feeding goal and there's no way he'll

make it without a feeding tube. I'd like to get him a G-tube, but how do I

coordinate that with casting? Can you get a G-tube with the cast on? If not, do

you have to let it heal before re-casting?

Thanks,
