WaHey! Just changed the gastrostomy mickey myself!

While she was asleep.

She stirred - but didn't wake.

But is now moaning in her sleep. Hope I got it in the right place!

The nurses have never said to test for stomach contents for a mickey - only for the ng tube.

If its in the wrong place then maybe nothing can go in? Apparently it is agonisingly painful if it's not in the right place.

(you have got me slightly worried)

Ooops. Will do next time! She's had a complete overnight feed and breakfast by now. And she's had the mickey for a few years so it is probably well healed. Can't believe routines are so different around the country!

Don't even know if we have any ph paper left - is does get used up for childrens' experiments!

well done! we too never ending changing dd all ways dropping out!
