Lage and Rebecca

“My son Lage has Cerebral Palsy and has been tube fed for almost 17 years. I am so thankful that we found out about the Bolee Bag because it has been a blessing for us. It’s great not having to deal with all the messy syringes and being able to prepare meals in advance so they are ready to use when Lage is hungry. One of the big things for him is the normalcy part of the process because it’s not a syringe and he’s eating the way normal kids eat.”

Rebecca is an RN and consulting nurse for special needs students and has worked with many g-tube children and adults. Most of what she’s learned about tube feeding has come from caring for Lage and not from her clinical education.

Tube feeding for Lage started when he was 8 years old and the transition was hard because he had a love for food, but formula just didn’t taste good and made him gag.

At 13, he started having problems with aspiration and needed to be tube fed full-time. Lage still loves food so he helps out with the preparation in blending his meals. His participation helps keep food “real” for them which is very important.

For Rebecca, traveling is also easier now because she can take a few bags with her because the Bolee Bag and Bolink Large Cap is an “enclosed system.”
