Does anyone know the specific complications with GJ tubes and children? Kiddo is coughing and making faces (unable to speak) most of the time, esp with meds. TF 20 hrs/day. Venting quiet often, bubbles of air clear content. HOB ^, slow push. They did and xray to confirm placement. Maybe it isn't long enough? 24" I think for 54# kiddo.

Do the meds go in the G or the J? I would expect most to go in the J. The G is venting air; does it need to be drained? What are the physician orders?
