How to change the water in a G tube

In this video I do a step-by-step "how to" guide to changing the water in my daughters G tube. We do this on the first of every month as instructed by her physician.

Please note - It is important to know the size of the Gtube so you put the correct amount of water.

For reference, Kaidynce has a 14 fr 1.5 cm Gtube which requires 4MLs of water to keep the balloon secure.

Hope you find this helpful! If you did, please like and subscribe. Thanks for watching!

Kaidynce was born with a type II laryngeal cleft which is where the esophagus and airway do not fuse together completely. She was kept in the NICU until they found the cleft at 3 weeks old at which point she was deemed unsafe to eat orally and a gtube was placed. We had her LC repaired at 4 months old followed by 2 revisions that same month. She is now 1 and has been cleared to begin her journey to getting off the gtube. Follow along with us as we begin our transition from gtube to oral feeds! If you want to get to know Kaidynce a little better watch
