BACKPACK. Luke is mobile and this feeding pump hooked to an IV pole was becoming a nightmare. In the past, Luke would sit calmly in his pediatric wheelchair and watch Elmo. (for 30 blissful minutes in his wheelchair while feeding with his tube machine) Now...forget it! This child starts banging his head and screaming after 10 minutes just sitting. So....the mini zevex backpack was in order. Cecelia (our DME supplier) got this and we are just now using it.
here you go! The feeding pump is stuffed in this little backpack. It's great. Just gotta make sure Luke doesn't pull at the small amount of tubing hanging on his left side. See it below?
He's doing ok with it. He cried at first but then got over it real quick. Now, he just scoots around in his backback feeding at the same time. Isn't that crazy? Feeding on the go. There are perks to special needs babes. Truly.....! Big smile.
More to come on his oral eating....he's doing great. P.S. I know, I know, I know. No pants! Ugghhh, so much for yearly goals! LOL
