Child wrapped up in tubes at night
My two year old son has a mic-key and has been tube-fed since he was born. He is
also on a night drip. My problem is his tubing gets wrapped around him when he
sleeps and his button has been pulled out a few times. What can I do to prevent
this? Send your advice to:
