Mic-key tube button. |
Mujhee is very challenging to care because she doesn't eat, sleep and grow like any other typical children. She has a gastrointestinal tract or gut dysmotility, meaning her gut does not work properly at moving its contents (food, fluid ect) through her digestive system. Due to her neurology disorder cause by her brain injury, her intestinal muscles has lost the ability to coordinate muscular activities, meaning its paralyzed. She can't eat orally so she is fed through a tube button that was inserted through her stomach because she has dysphagia, a swallowing disorder. I remember how naive I was, hoping that she can get better and can eat orally. It was not until she was 4 that, we decided to get the feeding tube done. Before that she had a nasogastric tube that goes through her nose, throat, esophagus and all the way into her tummy.
This gut dysmotility also makes Mujhee have gastroesophageal reflux disease, A condition in which food and gastric acid frequently flow back out of the stomach into the esophagus and mouth. She can't keep her food in her stomach so she is suffering daily vomiting, constant and sudden crying and 'colic' pain. She has excessive drooling, tooth enamel erosion and bad breath. She also has hoarse voice, sleep apnea, noisy and laboured breathing.
On top of that, she is suffering from constipation with hard stools that cause tearing and bleeding of the bottom, difficulty going to the toilet, a painful and swallow stomach.

Mujhee has
50 mls syringe and tube extension. |
Mic-key tube replacement set. |
Every six months we need to change Mujhee's tube button or Mic-key gastrostomy feeding tube. I would order her feeding supply together with 60ml syringes and extension at PMH twice a year in February and August. Once we got the tube, Mujhee's father will replace her old tube to the new one because he is more brave than me. Although I will do anything out of love for her, but things like changing the dressing for her bed sores or replacing the tube feeding are for Mujhee's father.
I am aware that Mujhee is very much challenging to care but she has her lovely family, her dad and me, her mum. Sometime we, as Mujhee family, are surprised by the hard works of caring someone with special needs and feel like we had enough and or feel like we can't do it anymore but we keep going on for her and will never giving up on her because at the end of the day we realized that the purpose of our creation is to be test, as to whom among us is the best in deeds. I ask Allah to keep our faith strong, ameen.
Need to go and check on Mujhee now if she is already fell asleep because I am sleepy.
Until next post, may God bless you.
Love,
Lightnur
