If there was an emergency in space and you had to wear your space suit
for a
week, where would all the **** and **** go? What if you puked in your
space
suite?

If you're referring to existing space suits, and if you mean the suit
absolutely cannot be removed or opened at all during the week, the
answers a

1) The urine will overflow the urine collection device and end up
everywhere in the suit. Space suits aren't tight-fitting.
2) The crap will squish where ever it gets squished to. Brace for
diaper rash.
3) The puke is there to stay, like the other stuff.

There are several other issues for modern space suits when they're worn
for a week:

1) They don't have a week's air supply

They don't have to when they're attached to the ship's air supply. Apollo
suits had umbilicals for this purpose. The only time they used the portable
life support system (i.e. the backpacks) was for lunar EVA's. All other
Apollo EVA's, including Skylab, used umbilicals. Most (all?) Gemini EVA's
didn't use backpacks either, except for the Gemini EVA which was to include
testing of a manned maneuvering unit (which was cancelled due to overheating
of the astronaut during EVA).

2) They don't have a week's coolant supply (modern suits are cooled
with sublimating water)

Cooling water can also be supplied via umbilical. Again, see Apollo suits.

3) They don't have much of a water supply for the astronaut (shuttle
EMU suits offer 21 and 32-ounce water bags), and no food supply.

I'd imagine that the suits used in the CEV will need umbilical attachments
to handle just such a contingency. It would be easy enough to provide a
drinking water supply through the umbilical. Since you've got air and
cooling water connections anyway, what's one more connection?
