gas. gas, gas, gas. vent. vent, vent, vent.

So I was reading in an on-line newsletter for parents of kids with g-tubes (yet another club to which we have gained membership) how you can not only put into the tube, but pull out of it, too. Thought I'd do a little experiment & pulled back on the very large syringe. Hmm, gas. Hmm, lots & lots of gas. Hmm, Lars is smiling, giggling as gas is removed from his tummy in droves

It's called "venting."

Several times a day we pull gas bubbles out of that little tummy. Lars is feeling much better & calmer in general.
