Mic-Key Button Update

Toby did great yesterday getting the Mic-Key button and the barium enema. The Mic-Key may not be permanent because I guess the tube that goes into the small intestine may have a tendency (in Toby's case) to curve around and come back out into his stomach, so we're keeping an eye on him to make sure he is not refluxing up formula. He can't have any food into his stomach because of the risk of refluxing and aspirating it into his lungs. We're praying, though, that the MicKey will be able to stay in. The radiologist thought it was wishful thinking for him to get one this early..we will see! The barium enema didn't really tell us anything yet,; they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The report will be send to the GI doctor, so we should hear something on Monday.
We have a new Saturday nurse starting today; she will do all of our Saturdays...we're excited to have her start, she's very nice.
Have a great weekend!
