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.

9:00 AM – 3ml carnitor, 1.5ml sodium, 3.25ml polycitra K, 1ml iron, 0.5ml vitamin D, 3ml potassium

  2. I have felt pretty good when I could give him a few doses of meds and put him on the pump. Your mom is so much braver than I am.
