Yesterday Web had his "l-o-n-g tube" replaced with a Bard Button. So far he is ! I medicated him at home with one Xanax 30 min before the procedure and they gave him MS IM at the Clinic [per my insistence when we made the appt]. He was very comfortable and said that the procedure was a breeze. He loves his button! Why? He doesn't have to wind the tube up anymore, he doesn't have to feel the long tube pulling on his tummy, he doesn't have to look at his stomach contents in the tube anymore, he doesn't have to have the tube bulge showing under his clothing, he doesn't feel so obviously sick anymore when he looks in the mirror. Great for his self image and for his self esteem! I had requested a MicKey...this is a little to long and they will reasses it in May, if this one doesn't work the way we want, I will insist on the MicKey! This made his day! Yippeee!
To celebrate we used it to give him a glass of Chardonnay :wink::grin:
