I like to be a positive person but mealtime has been an ongoing frustrating thing for me. Maybe if I just have my negative moment I can let it go and focus on the positive. I found out yesterday that our sweet girl has lost weight again for the second month in a row. It takes a lot of time to feed her typically six times a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, bedtime snack with medicine). I try to find the right balance of healthy foods that don't contain foods she's allergic to but also have enough calories. It also takes time to make her something separate and blend it up. Most "calorie boosters" are really sugary and I feel like I'm giving her lots of processed drinks or food to up the calories. Now to focus on the positive to regain my energy and patience at mealtime. . .
The positive: 1. Her nutritionist helps us with new ideas to help keep her as healthy as can be. 2. I don't do every meal. I do get "breaks" and am very thankful for my husband and other's help. 3. Overall, she eats pretty well and is healthy. 4. I do enjoy the quality time together when feeding her. She likes to "talk" and play games at mealtime.
Thank you Lord for my girl's health!
