[tri-med] Re: G-tube Question

I hope Jackson is feeling better today!

We use Triamcinalone when Keren has skin granulation. It works more  
slowly than silver nitrate, but it's a lot less messy. I still have  
some things that got stained by silver nitrate! (I was always  
flushing off the extra silver nitrate with a lot of water and it  
would pool onto anything underneath Keren). She had granulation for a  
couple years and then suddenly a year ago it went away.  It came back  
a little bit this winter, but that was because I hadn't been keeping  
a little bit of a pad between her skin and the button and the skin  
got rubbed.  Sigh!  What I get for being a little lazy!  It's nothing  
like it used to be, though.

Hope you find some answers soon concerning the blood at the site-- 
hopefully it was just irritated skin!
