DS aged 12 (deafblind CP and epilepsy) has just had a jejeunal tube inserted, life has been 100% improved for him no reflux no more discomfort hurrah! However I am having trouble with his medication, he has anticovulsants which I have to dilute in 50mlsx2 a day with water and have been told by the hospital pharmacist to give at 1ml/minute! Have asked local nursing team who seem to be sitting on the fence. Help time is of the essence when you need to get 5 out by 07.30! No I cannot get up any earlier!

Hi there i have a dd who is tube fed and at one time at jejeunal tube.Not sure i can be of much help really.Does your son have a feed overnight.If so is there any way of administering that via the pump.Iknow my dd had to have water boluses via pump at one time.The only other thing i can think of is to speak to to the hen team/feed nurse/dietician tomorrow.

Hi 2old2beamum

No experience with jejeunal feeding I'm afraid but just wanted to point you to the national support group "PINNT" (If you google it , it should come up!)
