Judith,

Just curious, since Jake was never on a continual feed during the

day.....what is the factor that to determine why one would use a

continual feed over a bolus (or vice versa). Is it a practical

reason, medical reason to do one over the other?

I am not asking to question your decision, I am just curious. I

would guess a pump is cumbersome for and a bolus is nicer for

him. But is there a reason why a continual feed is better for him?

P.S. Congratulations for making it to tax day!
