Michele,

As Christine said - you really need to be careful to keep hydrated as well as well getting the nutrition. When it�s 7 degrees outside here in Illinois, there is no moisture in the air and it zaps the moisture out of you.

Have any of you tried Juven? Tim used it recently. His dietician recommended it. It�s made by Abbott and you can get it in a powder or in Ensure. His insurance bought two weeks worth of the powder and we bought two more (it�s $29 with shipping). Tim thought it was helpful in getting his energy back from his pneumonia and it may, or may not, have helped him gain the three pounds he put on last month. With chronic pneumonia, it�s hard to tell. If it really helps, $100 a month is not bad, but I�d like to know what others think.
