She's trying very hard to eat still and is having a difficult time of it. She doesn't have a feeding tube so is getting all of her nutrition orally. I had a PEG so don't know what to tell her other than ice cream, Ensure and cream of wheat. There are so many things she can't stand the taste of anymore, even vanilla ice cream. She hates the taste of water so they told her to drink as much flat 7-up as she can. Can anyone give me some ideas to give her? Thanks, Carol
