I know that if I tell him what all of you have said, he might not want to hear it now. Sometimes he needs to hear it from his doctors. So I will feed (no pun intended) the information in little bits. I have tried to encourage some food intake but eggs seem to be the only thing that pleases him now.
I think that perhaps ice cream or something sweet might work as a first try. Also some of the other suggestions. I would like to make a shake with fruit and protein but he has to be willing to try it. I am trying and will sometimes fail. I know that. It is very hard.
