Sticky ribs for lunch
I am still losing weight but it seems to be slowing down. Hopefully, it will stabilise and start picking up soon. The Professor has allowed me to have up to 150ml of water and glucose via the tube during the day on condition Mummy and Daddy only give it to me while I am sleeping. This is so I don’t associate feeding with the tube. They say it will also act like an aperitif, in that it will help regulate my appetite. I fell asleep this afternoon and when I woke up Mummy and Daddy were just about to start eating spare ribs. I started shouting at them until they finally realised I wanted one too. So there I was licking away and trying to chew a big spare rib with Barbecue sauce. My appetite must be kicking in. The folks, once again, had a stunned look on their faces!
I just can't get enough!
On the way home the ice cream lady gave me a cone to play with. I had it all chewed and in pieces by the time we reached the hospital. For supper I was still hungry and ate lots of pureed food. This is my main source of food as I can swallow it easily. However, I am really enjoying trying new things like spare ribs and ice cream cones, even if I can only lick and suck them at this stage.
Only 2 more sleeps till Grandma and Grandpa come and visit me from Ireland and 3 sleeps for Granny from Zimbabwe to join us again. I am getting very excited.
