Angelia,

You can probably contact the same company that delivered your supplement to get the supplies you need. Usually, once they have the orders for enteral feedings, they can contact your insurance company to get the precertification needed to get the bags and tube hookups (or pump) you need for the slow feedings. Then your SIL can show you how to use them.

I fed Bill 6 cans per day along with water, etc. but he had to lie still after each feeding to keep from getting lightheaded/nauseated and sweaty. In hind site, the gravity bags or pump would probably have negated some of those issues.

Please look for the invoice that came with your cans and see if there is a contact number. Call...I am sure there is someone handling that account that can be a big help in getting you what you need. They have case managers that do this sort of thing.
