[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 178253, member: 3444"] Ditto to Marcie's suggestion about the Ensure... even the generic store brands are fine (and much less expensive). I used to buy them for difficult child 1 when he was really sick with his Crohn's because he was so underweight and didn't always feel well enough to eat. Although he's a very picky kid and didn't care for them, I do like them as a lunch substitue for me :) They taste best over ice or very, very cold in the fridge. Chocolate is my fav. You get about 250 calories per can and lots of essential vitamins and minerals. Another option is to keep some Carnation Instant Breakfast packets and milk on hand... Not good to skip meals, especially when you're not feeling well. The shower stool will make things much easier for you to manage I think. Glad your mom is going to cook for you so there are quick and easy meals at the ready. I see that your difficult child likes to cook also... maybe this would be a good time to enlist her help -- feeling useful and important to others can sometimes be uplifting and maybe that will help the funk she's in as well. Don't beat yourself up. You don't exactly have control over the circumstances, do you? I think it's okay to lean on the kids a little during times like this. [/QUOTE]
