Hi manz, does having the feeding tube while you’re sleeping cause any problems ? Is it noisey ? Is it easy to use and set up every night ? I worry about him getting infections etc. does it just become second nature to maintain ? Sorry, so many questions it seems complicated but maybe it’s not ? He is beginning to find it more and more difficult to eat and drink as much as he did the day before so we’re thinking he will probably need the Jtube..
thanks again..

My husband has had the feeding tube for a few weeks now. We have gotten into a routine. Make sure to wash your hands, clean everything with vinegar and water. I got some tiny alcohol wipes to clean the tips of everything. Just be cautious and there will be less chance of infection. I also made a medicine chart for each day so I don’t miss anything. It’s easy enough.
