Stopping a leak...

I feel like one of those cartoon characters who tries to plug a leaking dam. You know when one hole is plugged and within minutes another hole has sprung a leak... the character rushes to fix that hole and within minutes the dam is yet again leaking. Well, Ana has become my leaking dam. I fixed the leaking j-tube by venting it and after a day or so the g-tube sprung a leak... the g-tube stopped leaking, and before the day was up the j-tube started leaking again! I changed the j-tube to a smaller one and that lasted for a day before it began leaking again... I started another vent and the j-tube stopped leaking... However, I am sad to say that now, even with the vent bag, the j-tube is leaking. I don't understand what the problem is, but hopefully the doctors can address it soon. We are waiting to hear from the surgeon in Charleston and I will update when we do. Please pray about this. Pray this isn't the beginning of some big downturn in Ana's health. Please Pray...
