Ds pulled his button out this afternoon!
Whats worse was i wasnt in, had popped out for lunch with my friend and left my mum doing the lunchtime tube.
Luckily we werent too far away when she phoned so went home to find my mum had him lying on the kitchen floor as he was oozing milk, lol
Had a look at the button and the balloon had a "slow puncture" obviously from the community nurse sticking an extra 0.5ml of water in it to make it a snugger fit....wont be following that advice methinks!
Hadnt been shown yet how to change the button but had a rough idea but no ph paper to check if it was in the right place.
Decided just to stick the old button back in and taped it down and set off for A&E, where the lovely gastrostomy nurse appeared within minutes and watched/talked me through placing a new one so i could do it myself at home the next time.
Actually wasnt that complicated at all, bit of a skoosh really, so im kind of glad it happened as now i feel confident to change it myself which is good as she said if she hadnt been in i would have had to have waited for a surgeon and god knows how long that would have taken.
Took ds to pizza hut afterwards so he was well pleased
