From Traci, Founder: Lets talk G tube emergencies. My son got home from school today and his g tube button was gone. It was clear it hadnt been in for hours. I managed to get a button back in after putting a slip tip syringe in the hole and venting his stomach a bit. What I really needed and wanted was a foley in a size smaller than his g tube. I didnt have one at home. But, I plan on stocking both the 14Fr and 12Fr from now on. I was really lucky because my son has had a g tube for more than 6 years, so that stoma isnt going to close all that quickly. But, it was tough. So, please learn from my mistake. Make sure you have either buttons in a smaller size or foleys in a smaller size in your emergency g tube kits. https://youtube/watch?v=1Ue63A2ULUI&feature=youtu.be
