Last SX ( Hopefully)

The trick in life isn't getting what you want, it's wanting it after you get it.

So it's the day that Tyler's PEG tube comes out & he goes in this morning for a Mic-Key button by BARD.
Yes, it's a DEHP Free button that we specifically requested. Everyone we know with the Mic-key says it's a lot easier than the PEG, which has been kinked off by a rubber band over the last month due to the tube being under pressure & it exploding open.....I won't get that graphic about the contents that have come out of the tube.
Needless to say, we are told that this will no longer be an issue for Tyler, me or Cory when the button comes in.
Best of all it's not permanent, meaning that if Tyler keeps gaining weight, doesn't show signs of reflux in an upper GI & over all has a good feeding evaluation, we may be able to not use the Mic-key & it does come out, the hole will close up eventually because it's like a piercing.

We are fortunate that this SX was done laproscopiclly by his GI Dr., instead of having the surgeons cut from the outside.

So prays are more than welcome that we can go home later in the day, & that Tyler adjusts well to this new system & that also he remain healthy & strong. : )
