ok so what is bolus. i get the gravity, that just hanging a bag from above, right?

andy is just now starting to use the PEG, i have been using a syringe. but he can still eat a little soft food, mashed potatoes is his food of choice right now.
he is on a day to day menu since things he could tolerate yesterday, he cannot tolerate today. (but mashed potatoes have been hanging on the longest lol).

the MO supplied us with osmolite 1.2 cal. i am looking into jevity 1.5. the MO said he needs approx 3000 cal a day.

i have looked at past post where bolus is mentioned. can someone give me some info on this...

thank u all,
teresa

P.S. HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Teresa
