congratulations on Felicienne's decannulation! What wonderful news. We are going thru the same thing ourselves as far as keeping the stoma covered and I have absolutely no advice for you! I have purchased what seems to be every type of bandage under the sun and nothing seems to work very well as far as staying on (he will need a surgical closure so we're dealing w/secretions). His skin is very sensitive so that's been a problem as well w/the adhesives AND he fights us whenever we try and cover the stoma up so I have just about given up!
