protein milk shakes. when my mom was in the hospital, sweet people but they didn't have time to cut up her food so when I wasn't there or my brother, she didn't eat. I asked the nutritionist about this and she said milk shakes. My mom loved them and started to gain weight. Honestly unless food is cut into tiny morsels, small enough to eat in one bite, a patient can't eat. A nice tasty protein milkshake with maybe a banana in it is good. Anyone visiting her could make up some yummy milk shake to take with maybe cashew nuts, banana and other goodies in it.
I don't get why hospitals seem to want to serve really ill patients solid food in portions that need cutting up when it's obvious that the patients are too weak to cut up their food.
Hugs and love to Christine, she and Joe are precious to us all and will always be thought of and loved.
hugs and love
