Replace (sender as Button) with myNewButton

I have a dynamically created button and it has been clicked, so we are in the click event for a button that was created at runtime. Within the click event I created a new button and I want to replace the sender button with the new button.

The sender resides within a WrapPanel in a MahApps.Metro Flyout (likely irrelevant information, but just to be detailed.

So in a nutshell:

Replace myOldButton (which is the sender button) with myNewButton which is being dynamically created.

ALTERNATIVELY:

What I'm really trying to get at is the foreground property of iconPacks:PackIconMaterial icon which is within the button (see https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks). The x:Name of the dynamic icon can be derived from the name of the sender button if that is helpful, but I can't seem to get at the foreground property of an iconpacks icon which is why I thought about just replacing the control with a new control like just like the original button. Here is the dynamically created button:

// Create a stringBuilder
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

// use xaml to declare a button as string containing xaml
sb.Append(@"<Button xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'
xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'
xmlns:iconPacks='http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks'
Width='85' Margin='4' Padding='3'>
<WrapPanel Margin='0'>
<iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Kind='BedEmpty' VerticalAlignment='Center' Foreground='Green'/>
<Label Content='dynamicBedName' FontSize='12'/>
<iconPacks:PackIconMaterial x:Name='dynamicIconName' Kind='RadioboxMarked' Height='12' Width='12'
Margin='0' Foreground='Green' VerticalAlignment='Center'/>
</WrapPanel >
</Button>");

//Replace the placeholder Button.Name
sb.Replace("dynamicBedName", thisBed);

//Replace the placeholder IconPacks:PackIconMaterial x:Name
string iconName = "icon" + thisBed;
sb.Replace("dynamicIconName", iconName);

// Create button using a XamlReader
Button myButton = (Button)XamlReader.Parse(sb.ToString());

//Replace placeholder Label on Button
myButton.Name = "_" + thisBed + "_btn";

//Add a ToolTip to each button specific to this button
myButton.ToolTip = thisBed;
