Oh, granulation tissue, why must you interfere?

We made our follow up trip to KY with Lillian for her second stoma closure. It looked great until one day we took off the gauze and there was this little bubble. Like a little flesh bubble. It looks awful, truthfully, and weird. It did not garnish good looks from Dr Specialist ENT. (did you know there are specialists within a specialty? I love having this information...NOT) Anyway, she said she had just attended a lecture or class or whatever...probably a CME on stomas and they had recommended using ciprodex drops on the stoma and it gave great results. So, that is what we are going to start doing and see her again in two weeks. She said she just hopes that it is not growing on the inside as well......EEK GADS.

CRIKEY. I think that is all I can really bring myself to say now. ugh.

  5. I pray the drops work. Lillian, please stop giving your mom reason to say EEK GADS! and CRIKEY! While they are funny words, they almost never mean good things. And we only want good things for you!
