The weekend




Kadens been really good this weekend.feeding him by the button he just lies there,unlike the g tube he used to whine continualy.Maybe with the gastrostomy he had before it was in his stomach further and was uncomfortable - who knows?But so far so good with this new button,the only gripe i have is when you have to run the milk through the tube before conecting it to his button as its not easy doing it all with 1 pair of hands - holding the syringe on the end of the tube and holding the connecter and pouring the milk in the syringe and running it through the pipe til it gets to the bottom of the pipe and closing the pipe off in time before all the milk runs out the end!You have to run the milk through 1st to save Kaden getting a tube full of air before he gets his milk.Once we ve mastered the 1st part its the connecting the tube to his button with a syringe with milk in thats no so easy either - but once connected its alot more secure i find than the g-tube,and if he whines i can shut off the connecter and the milk doesn't come back up the tube.I suppose it'll just take time to get used to the change in feeding but overall i think its going to be easier.Here's some pics of Kaden this weekend
