Re: g-tube feeding, mic-key, and granulation tissue ???

[Guest guest]

Anne,

We had no granulation tissue before the mic-key. I don't know why

it starts after either. I cannot remember the name of the steroid

cr. but your surgeon should know what it is- just say steroid cr.

Once the button is in for a week or so, some swelling should go down

and that will be the true test of it is too small. The area just may

be inflammed a little becuase of the switch. They did use the little

measure doohicky (technical huh?) too get the size right? If they

did, it should be right. Also, if it's not hurting him, then it

probably isn't too small. 's fits pretty close to the skin

too. When she had the bigger one, it leaked quite a bit. Hope this

helps a little.
