I am peg tube feeding my mother, complicated medical history, need advice?

Am peg tube feeding my mother 65 after heart valve replacement surgery. 2 valve replaced, 1 repaired. Have a complicated medical history that includes polio, Hodgkins lymphoma , breastcancer, paralyzed vocal cord. Having trouble with retaining fluid around lungs. Multiple pleuralscentesis, lots of bumex, etc. Now the question….as sodium causes the body to retain fluid, I am concerned about the sodium level in the Jevity that we give her. Is there a lower sodium equivalent? Or is that level acceptable. She can’t seem to stop gaining the fluid, and it’s been a month post op.
