Boca Raton Resident Leann Travels with Life-Sustaining Nutrition to See Son on Tour

Boca Raton resident Leann, from the sunny city in Palm Beach County, Florida, recently embarked on a unique journey, flying to Indiana to see her son perform as the opening act for country star Jelly Roll. What makes Leann's trip particularly noteworthy is her reliance on parenteral nutrition (PN) and IV hydration, a life-sustaining therapy she has managed since 2020 due to her status as a cancer survivor with limited nutritional absorption.

Leann, a patient of KabaFusion Boca Raton pharmacy in Palm Beach County, credits her care team, specifically dietitian Elizabeth Tweedy, RD, and pharmacist Liisa Perez, RPh, for making the complex travel arrangements possible. "Their expertise, knowledge and care have made all of the difference in my life. I’m forever grateful," Leann stated, highlighting the meticulous planning required to transport PN, hydration, and supplies for air travel.

Parenteral nutrition provides Leann with essential calories, protein, and nutrients daily. She describes the therapy as a "godsend" that has "saved my life." While acknowledging that the adjustment to IV nutrition and hydration is challenging, Leann emphasizes the importance of following her clinicians' recommendations. "As a direct result of following the recommendations of my dietitian and my pharmacist, I have done very well with my PN," she remarked, reflecting on the past 4.5 years of therapy.
