We brought D home today, but she still hasn't eaten anything since last Friday, and we are both a little upset about that. TH tried to force food down her throat, and I just stood by and let it happen. I don't have a good answer on how to make her eat. I thought putting chicken under her nose would interest her, but it didn't.
It is hard because she has never had a big appetite, and usually she isn't that interested in food unless I am eating it. But I don't even think my eating the food would get her that interested. I am glad she is here, I think she is glad she is here, but...if only she would eat.
If she ate she would be able to walk and run and sing and jump, now she can't do any of that. If wishes were horses...
Maybe later?

She actually can walk, albeit with the assistance of the 'belly band". She's still a little loopy from the "vestibular disease" (symptoms similar to vertigo but Mop got it via a "stroke").
ReplyDeleteHer head tilt is much less, so that's improving.
I've forced her pills down her & she's drinking water, so let's hope that food is just around the corner.
T3 has been a WONDERFUL nurse - it's a VERY tough job for both of us.
