Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 , I think it might be part of the exploration process. Austin did that too. It was like he figured out that something was there and wanted to try and figure out what it was. I worried at first but let him check it out with me close by in case he pulled too hard. Now he knows not to pull it too hard but he still likes to look at it and open the port. His little sister is pretty scary around the tube feeding stuff though. She's got a grip on his tubing a couple of times and almost pulled it right out!! I don't know if this helps but at least you know some other kid did it too Jacque Austin's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 , I can't remember from past postings, but is there a reason you have the bard button instead of the mic-key? At least with the mic-key, it is anti-reflux and if she does open the plug, nothing would leak out (unless it is defective). Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 Jacque, I am glad she's not the only one, I actually figured she wasn't the only one, it only makes sense with something foreign that they are going to want to explore it. It just makes such a mess all over her clothes, my clothes if I'm picking her up, and whatever she's sitting on. I know she just wants to see it, and maybe it's itchy sometimes, I just wish I knew how to keep that darn thing closed!!! Maybe she'll just get tired of it after a while. (I hope!!)

Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 , I'm wondering if you can give Kennedy an old washed feeding tube that she can play with when she wants to play and open it and such? Do you have an old one around? It wouldn't solve the problem if she's doing it because she is itchy, but it could help with the curious part. Kendra loves to find her old tubes and play with them. We run them through the dishwasher and they are (sort of) presentable. :-) wendy Mom to Kendra, 12, CHARGE, , 18 and Camille, 21 Portland, OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 Hi ! We currently have a Mic-Key button for that does not leak (think this is a first and soooo nice). Have you tried snap crotch clothing to limit access or does she pull at it through her clothes? Maybe you could try to tape the button and tube down to her tummy and flush well after feeds?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 , Did you say what type of button Kennedy has? My son Tim has the Bard and although he does " fiddle " with it now and then it does not leak. I should say, it does not leak normally but will if it is getting old (we usually only have to replace them ever 18-24 months) or it is getting blocked by pureed food, yogurt or cereal. When that happens we unblock it using a Q tip with the end cut off - one of our docs tricks. Sometime, just rotating the button will also unblock. The Bard also will not come out ......at least not just by the child pulling at it. We are told that to do so would be very painful. Hope the leaking stops. I know how annoying a constant drip is.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 1999 Report Share Posted August 10, 1999 , used to play with her button as a baby too. At night we used to put her in a blanket sleeper, the kind with no feet and put it on backward, we then used to poke a hole in her sleeper to run the tubing out, this way she could not " play " with her button and could not unzipper her pjs to take them off. I know its summer and it may be too hot for this, but it might help in the fall. also always wore the onesie undershirts and as many one piece outfits that I could find!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Bradley, The BARD is the only one they use at this Children's Hospital. It is supposed to be anti-reflux as well, but my ped said yesterday when I asked her that it is probably our fault because we feed her everything through the tube, not just formula. Baby food (2 jars a day), pablum twice a day, etc. So, the leak will probably remain. It's worth it to me to get other food into her system besides formula. I've asked about a MicKey and they just don't do it here.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 , No, I don't have any old buttons. I really don't think this would work as we have tried EVERYTHING to otherwise occupy her when she is doing this. I thought maybe she was trying to tell me she was bored and needed some stimulation, so I tried to give her really " different " things (that she usually doesn't play with), but it doesn't help. I think she's going to have to just " get over it " with time, and hopefully the novelty will wear off. Thanks for the idea though....I'll file it away for future reference, it might be a good idea when she gets older and understands more.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Cheryl, Yes, she can rip at it right through the clothes. I have been taping it like a mummy at times lately, although I hate doing that as the tape really breaks her out no matter what kind we use. (we've tried all of em) As for the flushing, she gets a lot of flush after each syringe, as well as at the end, like I say, it's probably our fault it leaks as we put food & pablum through it.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Charlene, This used to work for us, but Kennedy can feel it right through clothing and find the loop on the end (the other end of where it goes in) and she can open it right up. This doesn't alarm me too awful bad, it's just a messy pain. The thing that gets me is her trying to rip it right out of her gut! But, if she does, she does, it might do the trick! It's not like it's the end of the world. We'd just have to do the g- tube scene until we went to the Children's Hospital again, I don't believe they do buttons at our local hospital.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 oh, ok. I didn't realize that the Bard was anti-reflux also. During Aubrey's surgery, we had the surgeon replace her mic-key with a new one, because the anti-reflux valve was not working on the other one. I don't know if it was because we didn't flush it with enough water after each feeding? We are flushing with more water now to try and help prevent the leaking...I definitely think you are doing the right thing about giving her other food thru it.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 When we had a bard we would get those leaks. You're probaby doing this, but we found that if we flushed it out with some sodapop that reduced the leaks.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Great idea! Last year 's pediatrician drew a " button " on one of her Telletubbies and was giving it her own tube feeding by playing with an old tube. Cracked us all up, but we also marveled at the fact that she was playing in this way. It took so long for use to see this type of play in her. wife to Jeff, mom to Dan 14, Ali 11, and CHaRGE At 09:24 AM 8/10/1999 -0600, you wrote: > > >, > >I'm wondering if you can give Kennedy an old washed feeding tube that she can >play with when she wants to play and open it and such?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Ann, I've thought about this, so instead of saying or doing any big thing, I tried just going over and taking her hand away with no brouhaha and just leaving and going back to what I was doing. I've even tried to just ignore her. I'm stymied, I do think there is a reason for this, even if it's just being a " regular-pain-in-the-butt-cause-I'm-almost-2 " behaviour. I think it's just going to take preserverance. (What doesn't with CHARGE???!?)

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 We would only put a small amount in, maybe 20-30 cc's. Another thing we used to do is to put some air in a small 5 cc syringe and push the air through the tube. That would clear things out of the button itself so the value could close.

She's going to the Doctor tomorrow to replace it. I'm interested in knowing more about the ANTI-REFLUX part. Maeve's doing wonderfully.....she got her new glasses today !! now its a game to try & keep them on. Her NEW hearing aides are already out being repaired, she chewed a hole in one !!
