PEG tube feedings, sm

The bottom line is after they feed her PEG tube feedings of 240 cc, they also give her a can of water to flush that through and she kind of coughs and *taste* on the food and they do put her head up at that point in time, but it sounds like she is probably having some type of aspiration or at least reflux with that.

He says this pretty clearly, but doesn't really make sense to me. I wish I could hear "tastes the food", but it's just taste.

could it be coughs at taste of the food? (nm)

picture-perfect for GERD in infant. Go for "gag" and flag if you feel guilty.
