Mind you I never had big problems, but in the past two weeks due to getting excema around my stoma I stopped using anything I had used before because I wasn't quite sure what was contributing to that excema. Anyway in those two weeks I had granulation tissue come up on two bits of my stoma and they were about 3 mm above my skin. The tea tree oil thing unfortunately never worked for me. I then read that some parents use St. John's wort oil for stoma care. I actually bought it because my stoma was looking a bit red and tender. I have been using it since Saturday with a combination of a diaper cream that contains zinc oxide and my stoma has never looked as good before. Within two days my granulation tissue started to shrink and is now below skin level again. This is granulation tissue that has been bugging me for more than a month! <br />And my stoma is less red as well! Maybe something to try out! I have always known that St John's wort oil is good for wound healing, but I never knew that it would work that well.Tube Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226970088294716086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589513296009198929.post-5686204801734029212009-12-08T09:31:43.684-05:002009-12-08T09:31:43.684-05:00You know, I'll have to send you a pic of the m...You know, I'll have to send you a pic of the mini one. Its much flatter against their skin. And the nice thing is the mickey extensions fit on it, so you don't need all new stuff. Our mickeys just kept popping after about a month,sometimes only a couple of weeks, when they are supposed to last 3 months or so. I think part of it is he is swallowing more air with the trach, and since he doesn't pass anything, even gas, on his own. His belly gets distended and pops the balloon. But my homecare company said they've had a lot of complaints with mickey, so I think we'll just stick with the mini one.Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589513296009198929.post-34335906075246604092009-12-08T02:40:03.577-05:002009-12-08T02:40:03.577-05:00Love all the pictures.Well worth the wait.and Mang...Love all the pictures.Well worth the wait.and Mango salsa ... yum!Hope all the appointments go well and so hope they can get the blood they need in one clean poke.As for the post below,wish I had some words of wisdom but you know,these little ones can throw it all at us and usually ... it's nothing.They just like to see how gray they can make us.Oh yeah, wait,that's Zoey with me and I am really,really gray!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209967185741239050noreply@blogger.com
