I won't post pictures as I'm sure there are lots of squeamish people out there.
But for educational purposes I thought it would be good to explain granuloma :-
Granulation tissue is caused by the body attempting to fix the skin disrupted by the tube and usually it occurs as part of the wound healing process. Depending on it’s stage it appears as a red, pink or randomly colored bumpy tissue (skin) formed on the surface around the tubes’ stoma.
I must say the body is amazing. In the 8 years Jason has had his feeding tube, it has come out before at night and the stoma hole closes very quickly! About 20 minutes I would say.
Jason's granuloma is growing over the whole tube site obviously attempting to close it. It is skin that is bleeding under the tube. Luckily Jason doesn't react to pain so it is not causing him pain but we have to worry about infection with him.
