|  Support for Judi & Eric-
I have been in contact with Judi (hope_faith) & wanted to pass along update.
Eric (mango) got a PEG last week and seemed to be doing well. But, yesterday he was admitted to hospital for pneumonia.
Please remember them in your prayers.
Let's offer Judi lots of support right now; she really needs it!
Thanks! |

Thank you everyone. Mango is chomping at the bit to get discharged from the hospital today. His brother spent the night with him last night and is there with him now making sure the hospital knows Mango aka Eric wants out of there TODAY. He has been in since Friday. He's been getting two different antibiotics thru his IV and is feeling better. Hopefully the doctor on duty today will agree to let him go home.
He also started getting his bolus feedings through his PEG tube while there. He only got his tube a week ago Friday and had been getting continual feeds thru the pump. The bolus feeds are going to be much easier and faster. The doctor wants him to get 6 cans of Jevity a day. His tube seems to be working great. He had lost a lot of weight, and he could not put off getting his PEG any longer. Hopefully he can gain some of the weight back he lost. He still can eat soft foods like yogurt, pudding etc thru his mouth.
Thanks for the well wishes and I will update when I can.
Judi

Judi, all the best to you and Eric. I hope that he gets to go home today and will gain back all of the weight that he wants. The mouth bypass is so useful as an express route to our stomachs and makes things so much easier that I know that he will do really well with it.
I am now pretty much just getting my nutrition using my tube and my morning smoothie (and am starting to have trouble swallowing that) and am maintaining my weight after gaining almost 20 pounds since February. Something else that I eat a lot is Boost pudding, it is about 240 calories per 142g can and comes in chocolate and vanilla.
