The mucus comes from the tube!!!

On Monday we changed Auggie's tube back to a more basic type without a heavy anti clog bolus on the end that goes into his stomach. I had a feeling that his excessive vomiting was related to the tube he had - and lo and behold his vomiting has decreased since I changed the tube!! The doctors were dismissive and did not think that the tube itself was the issue...little do they know. You should have seen the tube they put in him after his MRI - the anti clog bolus was HUGE and the bottom was weighted - no wonder he was vomiting 7-8 times per day. Now with the new tube it's more like 3-4 times per day. It's still a 6 french but a much lighter 6 french!!
