It has been a while since I have posted anything on here. So here we are now with a gt tube all going good with it. I love it makes everything easier from her not tugging like she use to on her NG tube. She does like to play with the line but does not tug on it, weird huh??? well anyways I am working on advancing her feeds back to 18cc where she was before gt was placed. I just bumped her to 9ccs and lets see how she does. 8ccs was fine so lets see 9, her ostomy output is a little higher than when she had her NG tube which is weird I dont know why but we have clinic this wend and we will see her GI doct and also the surgeons. Her GT is fairly wasy to care for, I turn it once a day and clean it 2 times a day. It is a very good fit so she does not have a lot of leakage around the site. Maybe a little milk but not much so I dont have to put a gauze or anything I just take it so it doesnt come out. She will get a button in 6-8 weeks I think they had told me once. Well Adriana got a bathing suite and a pool and we decided to out her in in. Our GI doctor was ok with it.. no questions asked. I changed her put some tape arounf her tegaderm and in she went.. she splashed for a while and played she loved it. The best part for her was when her dad got in with her. She went crazy but then it started to get a little cold so it was time for her to come out. It was a success so she can continue to swim.... I then changed her dressing even tho it did not get water under the dressing and also changed the cap.
