SAM’S MEDICINE/FEEDING SCHEDULE

My mom and Sam had a "sleepover" on Sunday night and she asked if she could do all of Sam's medications during her visit.  She's going to come stay with us again in July to help out when baby #2 comes.  Yay!  The help will be greatly appreciated.  This is Sam's current schedule for those who have asked about it and want to learn how to use a g-tube too.  G-tubes are pretty much awesome.
