Button, button who has the button

Kristoffer does!! Today we are having the GI doctor remove Kristoffer's feeding tube and replace it with a button that is just flat against the stomach. You can open it up and put food in and close it when you don't need to use it. It will be much nicer for him. Better than a 6 inch tube hanging out his stomach! We are officially done with the worst chemo drugs. No nausea or vomiting! But it can take 6-9 months for his appetite to be back to normal so we will leave the "button" in until we feel he will be fine without it. So maybe when he is 18 we will take it out. Just kidding!

Okay so.....I have a dumb questions about the button. What do you mean put food in it? Like do they give you a special solution to use or do you really like mash up food and put it in? What a stupid question, but I had to ask.

Hey, so what color is the button? Hope it is a really colorful one with a great design on it.

That is so wonderful! I think you should leave that botton in until he is twenty-one! You were inspired with that thought!
