The community nurse shows Murray's mum how to look after his gastrostomy feeding tube. Cleaning the gastrostomy, replacing the water in the balloon, giving a bolus feed and changing the gastrostomy button. The video includes helpful tips about taking a spare button to school, what to do when the button falls out or when you don't get the same amount of water out of the balloon when replacing the water.
Please also see our video about getting a gastrostomy in hospital.
