deb,

I think the drainage should resemble whatever you put in. The brown is

normal as that could be bile like. They pink however, I am not sure of. Is

any of s meds pinkish? That could be why. What formula does he use?

There should not be an odor other than simular to formula used. If it is a

foul smell(the brown) beware of stool. Normally Sams aspirates smell like

acidic pediasure. And is light tanish in color. Simular to pediasure. Hope

this helps a little. Any other questions, please ask.

Deb,

It depends on what they eat. Cameron only has formula so if it is pink, looks rusty, or there are coffee ground looking bits it means he has a GI bleed. I am sure it is tougher to tell if the person eats regular food.
