Sliding Down In Bed

Philippians 4:12, 13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”


More on feeding by mouth and tube feeding. When I feed my mother through her feeding tube, we have to raise the bed up to a seating position where the food will not go into her lungs. We had trouble with her sliding down so much and this was a big problem. She is so contracted and also has Osteoporosis in her back so, she just kept sliding down. A friend of mine told me to try a rug gripper that holds rugs and mats in place where they will not slip. I was at the point that I would try just about anything. I went to a hardware store and found two different kinds. To my surprise, it worked and is still working. I put it under the pad on her bed and there is also a sheet covering the pad of course so it does not touch her. This was a blessing, now she does not slide down and she can sit up better so we can feed her.
