oh ya i fought a lot with Ron earlier, not understanding the pain he had with his throat and why he couldn't get food down. but now he says the swelling is down and he is starving! Oh Slim ron's really been eating a lot of varieties of foods. He has all kinds of soups, favorite is my son's homemade clam chowder, just the potatoes must be very very small, last night he had campbells cream of broccoli/cheese he said he had a full belly after he ate the whole can himself! today he is buying stouffer's mac and cheese frozen dinner. he has ate chili, baked potatoes, lotsa oatmeal, all kinds of creamed soups, loves loves small curd cottage cheese and he eats 1 big container in 1 day! yogurts and mc donalds milk shakes he mixes half of one of those with his canned formula he used to use for his feeding tube so he gets more calories, his face isn't as sunken in anymore, now to see if he can get his belly back and some meat on them rib bones of his! also today doc gave him a script for difulcan for his thrush once that is gone he will get one of his favorite meals and try it. OnCor salisbury steak and gravy, mashed potatoes and creamed corn! ya lotta people say ewww to oncor but i am the queen when i make that! lol and i really make more gourmet meals this one is so easy and he always tells me he is easy i don't need to cook like it's a resteraunt! but that's how i've always cooked.
