The docs couldn’t figure out my random vomiting issue so they replaced my feeding g-tube (goes directly to tummy) with a g-j tube. The G-J tube goes into the stomach and down into the second part of the small intestine (the jejunum) so that there is less chance of me throwing up. The downside is that I am attached to a feeding bag 24/7 on continuous feeds since there isn’t as much storage area for large volumes in the intestines. Hopefully they can consolidate my feeds in the future and go back to the G tube. The procedure was fast but I wasn’t happy the entire time since that stoma area was tender and sensitive to begin with.
Interventional Radiology (IR) is
Quick teeth check (4 growing at the top, 2 at the bottom) and probably more because this teething is really annoying me!!! There appears to be quite the gap between my teeth, I may end up needing braces 🤓
