My husband just went through a couple of bad weeks with his Mic-Key type feeding tube. Was experiencing pain and some other issues, and was just given an antibiotic.
Trip to the ER, finally they did an endoscope and discovered that it was completely imbedded.
Anyway, it has now been removed. Doctors (and I) wanted to insert NG tube until they can do another PEG tube in a couple of weeks, when his stomach has had a chance to heal. He is dead set against it....insisting he can try to eat. Eating/drinking is as bad as ever - lucky to get 200 calories in by mouth each day and very little water.
Anybody had the NG tube and can give me something to offer my husband. Hoping that it is not as bad as he imagines and I can convince him to get it inserted ASAP.

Thanks for any help.
