What recommendation would you give for feeding CJ at this time?
CJ is having trouble breathing and if chewing were added to his routine it would be very difficult for him at this time. I would continue with a full liquid diet but I would supplement it with a high-protein trauma formula to the extent that he receives his needed caloric and protein needs.
