GJ tubes and duodenal motility studies

[Guest guest]

I don't have any answers but I wish you the best and hope things settle down

with your children. Overmelmed is probably an understatement at this point as

to how you must feel.

Thinking of you. I hope Kody does better this week.

Need info ASAP from those of you who know anything about GJs and the

duodenal motility study.'

Specifically, Kody has a 14FR mic-key that we are going to be

replacing/adding to a GJ (hopefully through the existing GT site). The

GI was saying something about the GJs not coming that small????? Some

can vent and some don " t? I dont know anything about these different

tubes and want to be informed before we make the switch.

Kody has done miserably. He went to the hospital 3 times last week for

IV fluids and continues to have severe chest pain/retching. His

eosinophilic esophagitis is back in full swing and we have today

re-started high dose prednisone. They are gonig to place the J tube, do

the duodenal motility study and if not successful, he will go on TPN.

My 10y/o also has is eos esoph back again. The 6y/o and 22month old get

their scopes on Tuesday. It is crisis central here. Would appreciate

any info on above subjects from anyone in the know.

Thanks so much!!
