Now that Reggie has made it through his surgery and is on the mend, I find difficulty in getting him to resume to normality. He saw the doctor on Wed. and the doctor said he could have any liquids that he would like. I have tried to give him coffe (his favorite) lukewarm of course and offered many different things but he refuses. Staying only with sips of water. Is this normal? And how do I encourage him to move forward towards other liquids and soon to be solids? I know alot of it is mental. Any suggestions?
