Mary,
What kind of "delivery system" are you using for the PEG feedings? My husband had a pump and we discovered his tolerance level to be a pretty slow speed - too much too fast would always make him sick. With the pump, I would just get it started when he went to bed and by the next morning he would have had the total number of cans that the dietician wanted him to have. It was pretty easy to do it that way - he just had to make sure he slept in a partially upright position which, with all the mucous, is probably a good idea anyway.

I do know how you are feeling about being a nag on the nutrition. I started calling myself the "food police."

This is a hard stage you are in. Things will get better.

Best,
Anita
