I had the same set up. Just lost "my little friend" two weeks ago today. (had him "hanging around for almost 7 months) I'm not sure how you are using the syringe but if I reclined (in recliner) or laid down and my wife poured, gravity took care of most liquids I used. It's a slow process to begin with but the thicker the fluids are the slower it goes. It's easier to take smaller amounts more frequently. Be sure to keep it flushed good and clean. (the syringe helps do that) It sure wasn't convenient to start with but I was more than happy to have it about 2 months into treatment.
Best of luck,
Steve
