I did rinse it with some water after the Ensure...but probably not enough. Thanks for the info. I just put some more in before he went to bed and it seemed to be a little easier this time. So scary that I am going to mess things up and make him worse. I was also wondering about putting liquid vitamins in him. The Dr. seemed to think it was not necessary. I am a firm believer in good natural vitamins, especially when you are not able to get the natural nutrients from your food intake. Any thoughts on this as well?
I have to agree with Deb in the fact that there is very little follow up with patients after they leave the hospital. It is such a stressful time and here we are dangling trying to make our way through each day. This site has been better than any other info I've dug through.

Thanks to all of you!
