Well, We rushed Travis to the ER tonight. I was wondering if anyone else hs experianced this??
This afternoon we noticed some brown gunk around his Gtube site tht looked lke dried blood. Several hours later I changed his diaper and he had alot of dried blood in his stool. It was not Red, more orange type of tinge. I took him to the ER, Sats were good and while there he started having alot of tinges of blood from the Trach. The ER doc took a chest X-Ray and said the blood in the stool and Gtube mut of been from something iratated in the airway or trachea which caused him to have blood in his stomach. I was very surprised that they sent me home and told me to follow up with my pied. Has anyone experianced anything like this? As always thanks.... Gary

Jake gets dried up gunk around his g-tube periodically, but we've never noticed blood in his stool. You did the right thing by going to the hospital, but I'm surprised all they did was an X-ray...I'd definitely go see the Pediatrician as soon as possible.
