On Monday, Joy’s g-tube site began to bleed…. a lot.  I cleaned the area, and redressed it, but it soon became clear that this was beyond a mother’s expertise.  So a trip to the hospital was in order.<\/p>\n

Although the bleeding stopped before we got to ER, it soon became clear that there was an underlying problem. Joy gets all her nutrition through her g-tube, but everything was leaking out.  Feeding has had to be suspended until the site heals. <\/p>\n

Various doctor consultations finally came together on Thursday, and there is a plan involving a different size g-tube. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
