Thanks you Uptown
And
Thank you Christine for the advice with the feeding tube. Sounds like a good idea with the feeding pump. I will call a medical supply Co. for one.

I am using Jevity in her feeding tube . Is there a higher calorie of formula I should be using? The Jevity only has 250 calories per can.

I had to bring my mother for an emergency visit to the Oncologist today. She has a severe case of Mucositis. Its so painful. The Doc. gave her 2 different precriptions of a mouth rinse and a steroid pill. Hopefully she can get some relief .



Thanks
Heidi
