Re: CHRISTINE ~ New Issue ~ Please Input

I had a lot of success gaining weight with an Ensure or Boost with every meal as the drink. As Steph mentioned, is she getting a supplement with each meal? Ensure and a straw went down easy each time, and didn't taste so awful. And maybe offering it during the day too? High calorie foods...milkshakes, ice cream. I wish I had more to offer. Certainly sending lots of prayers and positive energy. I really don't see calling Hospice in if she isn't ready, and you feel she isn't ready yet either. ((hugs))
