It’s 5 am Sunday morning and Kevin woke to a “leak” which is never good when you’re the proud new owner of a j/g feeding tube! It turns out something is leaking from around the j/g feeding tube site where it isn’t supposed to. I put a call in with the cardio-thoracic on call Dr. and he said it isn’t normal, but that some fluid can build up and be released that way from the procedure. However, if his symptoms (gagging, nausea, pain) increase and it does it again, we need to go down to JH.
Ugh. We are so sick of all these j/g issues and fear that it was misplaced, yet again.
Dear Lord, please let this not be the case. Rid Kevin of his stomach issues and help the j/g tube work the way it is supposed to so we can get much needed rest and relaxation for Kevin to recooperate. We will do your will, whatever it is Lord. Give us the calm we need to get through this situation, especially if it requies us to go down to JH again. Amen.
I hope all goes well, i work today so let me know if you need anything from me and Lou is home,
