Hello Shiela,

I was on the feeding tube for seven months. I was inputting 8 cans of Jevity per day. I flushed the tube after each feeding with alot of water. You don't want the tube to clog up, plus you need the water. You don't want him to become dehydrated. I used a syringe to input the Jevity. One rule of thumb is one month recovery for each week of radiation. Measure his progress in weeks not days.
Things will get better, It just takes time.

Have his doctor write a script for the Jevity or whatever brand you use. Your insurance company should pay for all the supplies also. They even delivered all I needed free of charge. They may balk but if it's the only way he can eat they should pay.

Wishing you the best, Danny Boy
