Normally, Richard and I team tackle the PEG tube. But when I am not around, he is easily able to handle self-administering. We have a gravity pole and kangaroo bags. Aside from the first couple days (when we were unsure and inept), feedings go smoothly. We alternate hydration with the feeding (as Richard right now has a tough time swallowing anything).
