New tube


Here is a picture(albeit fuzzy camera phone pic) of Marissa's new GJ-tube. Im LOVING it so far! She hasnt thrown up even ONCE in 5days...WOW!
The top "tube" is her Broviac Central Line and the GJ-tube is the bottom. You can see two "extension" tubes that come off the button. One screws into the G port and one into the J port. We give meds and elecare in the J port(18hours per day) and drain and vent out of the G port(24hrs per day). GREAT system!

I just wanted to let you know that I stumbled upon your blog and I'm so inspired. I am about to adopt a 7 month old with short gut syndrome (I've previously adopted two others from foster care and continue to foster as well) and I'm just SO excited to see someone else in a similar situation! :)
