[tri-med] Re: G-tube Question

Thanks Loren!  His site is better today, but now he's got a cold.  It's just 
one thing after another!
   
  We got the Triamcinalone cream last night.  I've noticed a reduction in the 
granulation with just two applications.  No more blood, thank goodness!
   
  Our GI appt is Thursday, hopefully they will be happy with the way his site 
looks.

  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!
