A Big Whoops
My Grandson stayed at our place the last few nights. He wanted to come to bed with me when I did. Cody has failure to thrive and has to be fed through his stomach. He was hooked up to his machine and a tube connected to his stomach. Shortly after he fell asleep he began kicking me, so I went to move him. I apparently was laying on his tube and I didn’t know it. When I moved him over his button came out of his stomach. I called my wife and she panicingly ran up the stairs. She called our daughter and she gave us instructions. We first had to connect a syringe to the button to get the water out of the bubble and then put it back into his stomach. My wife tried and couldn’t do it. I gave it a try and it wouldn’t go. I continued to try and it slipped back in and we filled the bubble with water again. It’s happened a few other times and we’ve not been able to get it back in with out hospital assistance. I was so relieved it went back in.What big “Whoops” has happened to you?
Thanks to everyone that responded on the quality of kids. I will mention your answers when I speak this Sunday.

Thats a big whoop, Randy. Sorry you and your family have to go through this. Some people believe in angels, I’m not quite sure about that. One thing is certain, a higher power is looking over Cody.
Oliver was laying on my bed, WITH me, and he scooted up toward the head of the bed and the next thing I know he took a nosedive down between the headboard and the mattresses. (they aren’t connected) I caught his foot in time and he wasn’t hurt but it took about 10 years off my life.
I’ve had many “whoops” moments, most I wish to forget!
Sorry your little fellow has this problem, is there optimism that he will grow out of needing this tube?
BTW sweet photo of him!
My youngest would always get into the breakfast food drawer and eat
Cherrios.
Oh, how scary. I’m glad you didn’t have to take him to the hospital this time.
I feel like I make a big whoops every time I talk to my father in law. Apparently he likes me anyway. :/
oh my goodness. Sheesh. I don’t think anything can compare to something happening to your own family member as far as “whoops”
just glad nothing too serious happened.
That sounds scary! Are you a pastor?
