For Bill...with six cans of Nutren a day and hmmm..can't remember how much water... required, I had to chart each feeding because between the feedings and twice a day radiation treatments...the times all ran together and it became a big blur unless I wrote it down.

So, each feeding I wrote down how much water...supplement and meds went in the PEG and in addition, I would place a small bottle of Gatorade Rain by Bill's chair and make sure he finished that by the end of each day (that was as much as he could take by mouth..he was so painful....but I knew he was swallowing something.) He never got dehydrated though...I watched him like a hawk. It definitely helped that he was rarely nauseated and he never vomited, so all the liquids that went in him stayed in him.
