gj tube out again-needin some opinions, please

[Guest guest]

chrystine just got out of the hospital again... the gj tube came out friday

night at like 2 am... i had to take her to the er, and nobody in wv can put

one in so they gotta put these foley catheters in there to keep her site open.

well, anyways since beginning of december, i havent been using the " j "

portion anyways cause last time it came out, it was crazy yall. i had to rush

her

to the er (first timer with the tube out thing and i aint kidding i was

freaking!) anyways, the goofs at the hospital here put in the wrong size and i

cant

do boluses through the cath, theres too much daggon pressure-so i called her

docs in cincinnati and they said, you'll have to bring her here so by the

time i got her there, she was completely dehydrated and i was infernally hot

over the incident so i called charleston's hospitals er administrator! they

deserved it. i told them the size, and that i couldnt give her boluses and they

sent me outta there to figure it out myself. i decided along time ago that i

was gonna worry less about a doctors feelings than my daughters interests.

so, this time-they admitted chrystine to the hospital and wanted to run her on

a continuous feed. and i was like, for craps sake, i can do this at home and

theyre taking a big chance with her cathcing something else in this germ

infested hospital. im not taking her back to cincinnati. i loved her g-j tube

when i needed the j during a terrible 4 months of constant reflux and man did

that thing ever help to get some weight on her! and im sure ill regret not

having it when chrystine gets her next stomach virus, but she hasnt needed it

in

about 2 months now.... oh no, now im second guessing. i was gonna let the

surgeon her replace the foley catheter (IS THAT NORMAL BY THE WATY? IS THAT THE

NORMAL SOLUTION TO A TUBE OUT?) with just a mickey g button///but, maybe i

should drive her to cincinnati tomorrow. what do yall think? oh yeah and does

anybody know how we update pur kids pics on the stars page?

I don't understand your. Child is getting a J-tube out? Maybe they need to us

a stopper one both inside and out? If you go back to just the g-have them

show you how to change it its just like changing an earring .. For the J-tube

you

need interventional radiology to check placement but the g you just need a

stethoscope And yes a foley is a good substitute for a g-tube in fact that what

a lot of places use for feeding tubes all the time..... mom to CHARGEr

Yeah, thats what I meant where Im from in ton, there's no pediatric

radiologist so I have to take her back to CIncinnati Children's Hosp. to have

the g-j replaced. But, I am considering having a surgeon here just put the g

button in. thanks.

, it is good to see you here. How are things going? How is Robbie?

And are you enjoying being a nurse? That is fantastic that you have taken what

you have learned, in many ways as Mom to , and gone on to further your

education and to become a nurse.

Best wishes to you.
