Mic-Key button

We were up bright and early on Wednesday. We left the house at 5:30 to head up to Boston. We still hit traffic and were 20 minutes late. ( I called and they said don't rush) I hate being late...it drives me crazy! Boston traffic is seriously so hard to figure out.

So we got to Children's and got set up in the Gastro procedure unit. We had such a sweet nurse...she really explained everything so well. The only strange part was that behind the curtain next to us was a little girl who was screaming repeatedly at the top of her lungs..." I'm going to die." It was very alarming. Her parents weren't doing a very good job of calming her down. The even stranger part was that her whole procedure took like 5 minutes and then she was done! Poor thing I guess she was just scared.

The doctor and nurses wheeled the O man into the surgical room and were back within 15 minutes. Owen was not happy! They told us that they had to really yank the old tube out because his body didn't want to give it up. They warned us that he would be pretty sore. The cool thing was that after just a few minutes of explanation to us we were on our way and Owen's feeding was hooked up and running smoothly.

We headed to the CVS in the hospital and picked up Tylenol because I had only brought Motrin and they didn't want him to have that. I gave him a dose and then he slept the whole way home. He was sore for a few days and the area was tender but other than that it has been amazingly simple.

The button is much more discreet and fits better with his clothing. We are very happy with it and I will try to post a pic later today.
