Default Bard G-T anyone?Soooo pi****!

So Aydens had his bard tube for 4 years now,no problems....well 2 days ago,I go to wash the extention decompression tube & the tip was broken off!I open his button & the tip pops out,freaky,not shure how it happened.So this morning Im ready to send him out the door for school & wash his vent tube so he can take it with him & the tip is gone!&this tube is only 2 days old,this time I open his button & nothing pops out!!! So I call his sergons & they say bring him in to the ER!!! What the hell,so instead of just enjoying my 30 th b-day today & Ayden going to school Im now sick w/the thought of emergency surgery to fish this sharp little thing out! I am soo stressed right now,why do all theese things keep happening to my baby,we were just in the er 2 weeks ago with a possible bowel obstruction,2 C-Ts later he was fine!So before I leave for the ER I looked around in the areas I vented him & I found the piece that broke off...thank god!Has this happened to anyone else????........Thanx Angie

Never had this, but it sounds awful. Glad you found it and didn't have to muck up your plans for the day and spend time in ER. Hope it didn't ruin your birthday totally. {{{}}}
