After 5 hard, but wonderful, weeks at home, Freeman’s breathing became labored and Will and Misti returned to the hospital with Freeman for a chest x-ray.

The FreeArm®Muscle is available in 4 fun colors, pink, white, blue and green making medical life a little less medical. Let your healthcare team know about your plan to travel. Make sure that they don’t have any medical concerns about you flying with your feeding tube. If you’ve had recent medical concerns and things are unstable, they may ask you to wait.

The FreeArm®Muscle holds feed or infusion bags up to 1,200mL by hanging them from the clip hooks. With 2 hooks on the FreeArm®Muscle clip, you can easily hang feed and flush bags at the same time. I talked with tube feeding families and individuals that have flown with a feeding tube so I could share some practical advice with you! If you blend your own feeds and plan to do so on your trip, you will want to have your blender with you. This could be considered medical equipment if you have it specified in your doctor’s note. DMES and dietitians love the FreeArm for the quality of life and nutritional compliance that it offers their patients.

Families often prepared their blenderized food prior to their travel and froze it in reusable bags, such as the Bolee Bag.
