Jacobs feeding tube would not allow anything into his stomach. We tried Coca-Cola and other methods to dislodge the blockage, but nothing worked. Cortni, with Marshall Health, recommended we take him to the ER. We drove to Cabell Huntington Hospital and ended up spending more than six hours waiting. Finally, the doctor was able to examine Jacob and discovered the balloon on the end of the PEG tube had become deflated. He easily pulled the tube out and replaced it with a new one.
A quick x-ray showed that there were no internal issues and everything was back the way it should be. We finally arrived back home around 3 AM.
