still no updates from husband. grrrr. anyway, he does have something going on that I can't remember the name of but it's like a growth forming around the tube. With 60 lbs lost, the tube was sticking quite a ways from his stomach. He won't wear anything to keep it in place. I tell you he is a stubborn one! I let the nurses and doctors lecture him but he still rarely listens to them until he gets in trouble. Glad he's in the hospital for a few days so they either talk some sense into him about a few things and/or figure out these issues finally. The feeding tube thing has been a mystery to them but it just won't quit bothering him nor stop leaking.
