Well here is the out come of yesterdays appointment. Sorry for not posting sooner. I seem to be getting another cold and just felt ikky yesterday.

Aiden had his doctor appointment with GI and it was to discuss having his tube out. The doctor told us that they usually make a child wait 6 months of not using the tube before they remove it. UHHHH NO!! Please take it now.. !

So with that said, they agreed that Aiden has to go back April 2nd for another check up and if he is still not using the darn thing then they will schedule to take it out the following week.. YAY..

It would be one thing if it was the button but it's the original tube and it's long and a pain in the butt. I have to pin it to his diaper, he is always pulling on it when I change him, every so often the pin comes loose and falls off. Besides that it always looks nasty around the site no matter how many times you clean it.

Most kids have the button put in after a year but they chose not to since we assumed he would not have it much longer.
The doctor said that the hole will close up with in just a few days and thats it. It will be gone and healed and over with.. I can't wait to be able to take him to the beach this year and in the pool with out having to wear a swimmie, shorts, and a onsie to cover the tub.. What a pain in the G-tube.. haha.. Ok that was a bad joke..
