As ...Sounds like the best possible decision, Leah!<br /><br />As for g-button stuff, initially we did have some issues with granulation tissue but it is easily treated with .1% triamcinolone cream (much easier than burning it with nitro sticks), and a few simple staph and yeast infections that were easy to treat topically as well. I know MicKeys are a bit bigger and move around more than K's BARD, so there may be more irritation with them...but once K's body accepted it was there, we have had hardly any issues with it.

Still, the mickey is better than having nothing for venting. Hopefully we'll be able to pull it in 3 months!<br /><br />Julia, Brooks is like WCA- you'd be amazed by what they can't handle. The nearest hospital that can help us is WCHOB, unfortunately.dleflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699612034298659706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-67356132614164390862012-01-10T19:19:15.970-08:002012-01-10T19:19:15.970-08:00Heavy times, but on the whole that's a more po...Heavy times, but on the whole that's a more positive description than I'd feared.

Good for you making a decision.<br />When they train you on the mickey, make sure they cover infections, how to know when it`s extra serious and how to deal with them. Some kids (we follow blog wise) have trouble with frequent infections at the site where the mickey sits on the skin.<br />Nolan will probably be just fine but knowing makes it easier for you to deal with complications.<br />Keep us posted!!<br /><br />; )TheSweetOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614739313122935686noreply@blogger.com
