Stoma infection

The following night from the Asthma inhaler, Geoff complained about his Stoma, and yes it was red and slightly swollen, so another emergency appointment with the G.P and a course of anti-biotics and more time off School for Geoff.
We haven't had much problem with this Peg, unlike the one before his Button, which seemed to flair up every month.

We have now trained the Geoff's School carer in using the Kangaroo pump, (something the nurses didn't want to do) which now means he doesn't have to be taken out of lessons to be fed, which they did with the gravity feed.
We believe that is better for Geoff, as obviously it keeps him in the class more, something you don't think of when his paediatric nurses only wanted to teach the gravity feeding method.

We had Geoff's annual statement review the other week, well it was the first review we had had. No change there ,just hope that they have more Speech therapy in place after the summer Holidays !

Geoff went to his 2nd Birthday party at the weekend, which he enjoyed though obviously he didn't eat any of the food.

And thats it till something else Happens LOL.
