Toby saw the surgeon on Tuesday about his g-tube, and it's doing great - no granulation tissue. They are going to try and put in a MicKey button next Friday. It's hard to explain, but basically it's a button that his feeding tube will screw into. The button has the tube going into his stomach and small intestine, but when he's not getting fed, he won't have a tube hanging off of his stomach, you can detach it. This should help take care of his feeding tube coming out all the time.
His his x-ray showed that his hip is not out of place, which is great, but I still have more questions for the doctor about one leg being shorter than the other. You only notice when you pull both of his legs straighter.
