There have been times in which we did not understand something or know what something was...from procedures to equipment to a diagnosis, etc. We always try to do as much research as possible to learn the most we can, but sometimes information is hard to come by. On this page we hope to provide you with a little information about a few things. Please use this information for general learning, and contact your doctors for more precise information as it applies to you.
A Low-Profile Mic-Key Button is what Brandy has, and it is inserted in her stomach with a port that sticks above her skin about 1/4". It has a balloon inside her stomach to keep it in place . It is used for feeding, administering medicines and burping. To "burp" Brandy we attach the adapter tube to her Button and open all clamps. We put the open end in a snack-sized ZipLoc baggie. We try to burp her at least 15 minutes before each feeding. Sometimes we gently pull the contents through her tube with a large syringe. That seems to get things going. |
