Thanks Marica so much, I am having a hard time with my mom eating. The docs are not checking her electrolytes or anything for that matter and I am so worried. I think she is pleased about the weight loss and is still calorie counting when she isnt even eating anything. When I suggested the drink that was suggested to me in here, she got upset at the calorie count. Mother's day will be hard also because I know she wont be able to eat and we made reservations for a nice brunch and I suggested that she could take a "rain check" for when she could eat and feel better. I am just so torn now with her not eating and frustrated with trying to get her to eat. She takes the liquid and numbs herself and tries to eat but gets frustrated and gives up! I am so worried.

Danielle, I will call you in the next day or so. Things have been so hectic but it was so great to hear from you and to learn that your mom is doing so much better. I shared with my mom that your mom is doing well and it cheered her up! I am jealous about the river :-) as I love the ocean and any body of water for that matter :-) and of course, boats! Glad you are getting out and having fun.

Ed, your emails have also meant so much to me. THanks
