Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Hello I am new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is and i live in texas with my husband of 11 years and daughter kay who is 9 and living with CF. I have taken time to look at the photos and it was a joy to see! I will add photos of Kay also but mom hates to have her photo taken!Kay has been having weight problems and after a 2 yr fight with weight her doctors decided to put in a g- tube. She got it on halloween and is doign great but i thought i might share with you about a pump that her doctor got for her...Her doctor got her a cool pump called Zevex Enteralight! Wow this thing is wonderful. I have talked with others about pumps and they all have told me about the Kangaroo PET but this pump shines compared to the kangaroo. Here is a site that tells you all about the pump http://www.zevex.com/therapeutics/products/pumps/enteralite.cfm My daughter loves this pump and has already learned how do do it all herself. We are waiting on a teal color backpack for her...the small backpack is wonderful for a child. The zevex feeding bags come in 2 sizes 1200ml and 500ml the small backpack is made for the 500ml bags but we have used the large bags with 750ml and a little modification to make the bag smaller to fit. The pump does cost a bit more than the kangaroo (aprox $200) but well worth it. The Pet backpack in turn cost about $200 more than the zvex back pack. I just wanted to share hope it helps someone out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
