My PALS had his feeding tube put in 5 days ago.
Are you supposed to rotate the bolster every time you clean the stoma? Today when I cleaned it, the bolster didn't want to turn, it seems tighter to the skin and the skin was a little red around it. When I tried to turn it, PALS said it hurt a little. A little of the contents in the tube leaked out around the stoma.
