Just when you think nothing else can happen

So now the feeding tube is pouring out the contents of David's stomach and soaked his shirt, etc.  the doctor's office was trying to get us to go to the ER.  However the ER doesn't do feeding tube stuff...past experience.  So the interventional radiology nurse saw him and did a quick fix and made an appointment with the hospital for a new tube at 11 tomorrow.  This means that I have to cut my class short because his hearing has deteriorated so much that he doesn't hear clearly and if there are issues then.......Meanwhile, he wants to go to a political meeting tonight.  I am tempted to let him go to the hospital alone, but experience says that the fallout is too much when he tries to understand options or dates and times and gets them wrong.  I feel so bad for him.  He can't catch a break these days.  On the plus side, he feels fine, no pain and good oxygen.
