Wooo-Hooo!!!! Congrats on finally ringing the bell!!!! Im sure it was a great accomplishment for you both.

You are doing such a great job with your care giving. Im impressed how you snuck 3 cans in while he slept. Very crafty! Make sure if you do that your husband is laying with his head inclined or it could cause a problem with the formula causing aspiration. That darn PA! They shouldnt be talking about dietician things, they should be backing up the dietician.

Hydration is a very good experience, at least it was for me. I would walk out of there feeling so much better. Please check back in with me and tell me if the hydration had the same effect on your husband.

Best wishes with everything.
