Nothing in this blog is intended to be medical advice, merely one mom’s experience caring for a medically complex child.
Small Cup Sterile Water
4 Split Gauze Pads
5-6 Q-Tips
A mesh bra bag works great to wash your Tube Whoobies in!
1. Start by removing the previous day’s Tubie pad from around the g-tube.
2. Wet one of the gauze sponges and clean up any leakage from your child’s skin. Wet the end of the Q-tip and use to clean the mic-key. You can also gently roll a wet q-tip over any stuck-on drainage.
3. Place a dry gauze pad around the tube and leave for 2-3 minutes until dry.
4. Remove gauze and throw into the garbage. Put a new Tube Whoobies pad around the mic-key.
