My License Expired And I Live Ina Different State

Deterioration

were followed by bad days at Mr. Christopher ... Change of medicine - from the Helicid gaspridu resulted in the ongoing vomiting and crying from the pain of the esophagus.
In CZD told me that gasprid not really know if it works, and not needed since at his own request stuffed young. But Helicid is better, because the decrease inflammation of the esophagus. But as you can see, we do not miserably this exam.
Helicid reduces the secretion of gastric juices, making the esophagus is less teased, but take longer to digest food. However gasprid works to accelerate the peristalsis of intestines, the stomach is emptied more quickly, although the acidity of juice remains unchanged, and irritate the esophagus when withdrawing the contents of food.
I think the only sensible way with us, on the one hand the food is not in default, on the other juices are not so much uszkadzały esophageal administration of both drugs at once ... I hope this helps! By July, after all, we must persevere in the medications just ...

Preparation H Measurement

awaits us next operation - the team Sandifera

Yesterday we were at the Center for Child Health clinic gastrological.

Chris in April 2009 had anti-reflux surgery and nutritional gastrostomy chosen. Since then, no longer throwing up what he got to the tummy, but conquering, retching were. They are strong and tiring.
Another symptom of continuing problems and reflexes, is the position of neck flexion (Sandifera syndrome), which is used to reduce tension amended inflamed esophagus. This is due to very large lesions of the esophagus (ulcer, hernia) as a result of an ongoing irritation of the stomach juices. This can lead to cancerous changes. Krysia
U looks so that walking suddenly bends his head back and slightly to the right, so hard if he wanted to look at the ceiling. With this attitude more than once nearly lost his balance. Sometimes it happens very often 10 - 15 times per day, plus another 5 - 10 attacks emetics (without vomiting).

gastrological The clinic saved us at gastroscopy. CrossFit, because of its numerous problems and a thick file of it will have to be done in the wounds of hospitalization in the ward gastrologicznym. The term we are at the beginning of July. After the results of the tests the doctors determine the probable date of reoperation reflux in Christopher Robin.

And so ended a moment of relative silence ...

Vicodin Before A Brazilian Wax

Food Krysia few words about gastrostomy

was a time when I was looking for a gastrostomy nt different types depending on what pleasure he had to wear CrossFit. There is little such information. I have been helpful blogs like this one. So I decided to post a few words about Krzysiowych PEGach. Maybe someone need?

first PEGI what Christopher Robin wore a catheter flocare. It is a tube inserted into gastric fistula. After placing it on the site is pumped to the balloon, which protects against falling, and from the skin it zabespiecza silicon plate (so the tube does not enter the inside).
flocare advantage is the ease of care. You can always pick up a plate and clean the wound around. The downside is that the tube does not splits off, the children are busy as my son, this space is still working. This is true in respect to the position inside - PEG falls slightly, which can cause gastric content pouring in the abdomen, and this is known is not preferred because stomach juices are quite "virulent." The second movement, of which I speak is to work on some holes. A child walking, lying down, turning and rubbing irritates the protruding tube, which widens the channel. Unfortunately, it did at our place and in one month with the number 14 went to 16 and they wanted us to change it to 18 but it has not agreed and tried to save the fistula (the wider the circumference of the tube the greater the burden on the stomach).
flocare catheter looks like this:



Unfortunately, once the PEG Krzysiu escaped destroying the abdominal wall. Then we established a temporary Foley catheter. But we wore it for a long time, and exchanged for him when the hospital lacked the size of our PEGA flocare. Both look the same catheters. The difference lies in the fact that Foley is not plate, to support on gastrostomy on the belly. It was the worst period of PEGI. Christopher Robin has not yet walk, or sitting (up to 1.5 years) so like there was no problem with mobility, but maintain the catheter would not fell - is an art. Cudowaliśmy what they could. It was a way to clip lingerie, was the bandages ... but I did not give a sensational effect on wystawaniu above the surface of the abdomen did not mention.
Foley is such a thing:



last, our favorite is the low profile gastrostomy PEGI nutritious, sometimes called mushroom. When first inserting the measure requires the channel to adjust the height. Its advantage is the removable tube, so that PEG does not hinder the freedom of movement. Washed channel less freely than the Foley catheter flocare or because you can not pick up a mushroom. However, you can rotate AROUND cap, and so reach the needed space.
PEG's low profile:

At the end of the show yet, "bowl" with śniadankiem Christopher Robin. Second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, look very similar:)
Meanwhile, in the same way, gets a drink.
