Radiology Visit

This afternoon Trey went to Radiology for a GJ Tube placement.  This was basically a procedure which manipulated his feeding tube.  The G Tube was removed and the radiologists used the site to insert a smaller feeding tube into the small bowel (jejunum).  This procedure was done because if Trey's feeds have been going into his lungs (aspirating) and causing problems that would significantly delay his progress.  While the doctors can't prove he is aspirating, this was a relatively simple procedure to avoid a potentially huge problem.  Now it will be nearly impossible for any of his feeds to reach his lungs.  Everything went well - Trey tolerated both the transport and the procedure.

Tomorrow is a big day - Trey will be undergoing a lung biopsy around 10 am.  They will also place a new central line so he can receive IV medications.
