I need.

Just a quick update:

After a week of hell, we think Spencer's stoma is trying to close.  Stomach acid had been leaking out from around the cath, and burning the skin, causing a hellish amount of pain.  They took the cath out yesterday to try some jackass idea involving a colostomy bag.  That didn't work and it took surgical a while to come up because of an emergency surgery.  During this time, we had an open stoma pouring out gross.  Anyhow, after telling them I wanted to transfer hospitals because of the insane amount of pain Spence is in, they decided to call Cincinnati for ideas.  They were going to place another feeding tube to allow the skin to heal so we could go ahead and close the hole (which was the most logical plan yet).  However, they brought a higher up doctor with them to do it.  He decided he couldn't even get a cath in the stoma because it was trying to close!  I talked to Jimmy tonight and he said drainage is better and the nurse said things are looking well.  Hopefully this works.  I need all of us to be under the same roof again.  I need Spencer to be able to eat and to be off TPN.  I need him out of pain, because seeing him in pain is the worst hell.
