My husband used syringes all through. We were never told to use the drip. In a way, that’s more convenient when we had to go somewhere. We would just find a private area and John would get his feeding.

I would also just like to say that if your husband doesn’t have enough nutrition, he may end up with the risk of falling due to hypotension. Falls can be dangerous as they may break a bon or get a fracture. It happened to John (he had postural hypotension as a result of all the treatments though he had his feeds regularly), and the fainting spells would happen in the ost inconvenient places like a parking lot. When he was down, I just couldn't get him up again. I had to look up YouTube to learn how to help someone who’s fallen to get up safely.
