My husband had a PEG tube put in on Monday. The dietician came Wednesday to start him on Jevity. Unfortunately I was having surgery Wed and just got home yesterday (Friday), so wasn't here to help. He has had only 1 can daily. He threw up clear liquid after his last feeding.

Besides that, our daughters and I have noticed confusion. He wanted to know if I was at the store when I was in the hospital. They said he was partly asleep. I need to watch to see if that's it or if we have bigger issues.

I think hunger and dehydration could cause confusion. Any ideas?
