My valve is blocking regularly...yesterday at school...it got stuck going in...took about 5 mins of pure panic to finally get the tube in and empty my pouch (I am over 90 mins away from school by public transportation so my day is over if I can't intubate)...
Then this morning when I got up...felt like the valve stretched and was made out of rubber...couldn't get the tube in...Changed tubes and it finally worked...
I find myself praying that the pouch has fallen off of the wall again and that it is not the valve itself...because if it is I am really in Big trouble...no one here can fix it.
So, now we start running from hospital to hospital to have tests and see what is going on...darn.
