She did have a nose tube 4 different times, but thankfully it didn’t last too long before they decided it could stay out.
The good thing is he is eating proper food at home? So personally I wouldn’t worry too much as long as he hasn’t lost too much weight.
Every so often when we were in hospital I would bring a picnic and we would have that on Bianca’s bed and I would make little sandwiches, little sausages, fruit that I know she would eat and so on and I would put everything on plates and let her choose what she wants and she always liked that.
ProNutro (so who cares if you eat breakfast at supper time?)
And right now letting her choose something she needs to try (although we’ve been slacking off a little bit with that now that we are busy moving).
Bianca doesn’t like the hospital food and I can never get her to eat what they serve, so I always bring along a bread and ProNutro and so on as back-up.
Almost time for you to go home again and I will pray that the counts will recover quickly!

In elk geval, vir my is dit ‘n geval van pick your battles. Hy is al klaar besig om so ‘n groot fight te fight, hoekom nou nog baklei oor kos?
Soos Lea sê, hy eet ordentlik by die huis. Wie sal nou wil hospitaal kos eet as hy kan biltong eet?
Sterkte met die oorblywende twee dae. Ek dink baie aan julle, en bid ook verskriklik baie vir julle!!!!

Ek het vandag oor jou geskinder by ‘n kollega en vir haar vertel van die wyse waarop julle HOOP ‘n werkwoord maak deur elke dag te doen dit gedoen moet word. Julle is werklik ‘n inspirasie! Sterkte vir 4 en 5 van 5!

Verder … wel ek weet hy moet die regte goed inkry om sy kragte op te hou, maar deksels, as ek so siek was soos hy sou ek geëet het presies net wat ek wou. Ok, so ek doen dit in elkgeval, maar dis nie die punt nie. Wat van skommels – iets soos Shape se vanilla. Die label sê dit het hordes vitamienes, minerale en whathaveyous in en dis lekker in melk. Foeter roomys in as nodig.

Ek was gister gou by ma’le en al wat Carientjie wou doen was “honey honey”. So oulik! Ek sal probeer om voor die naweek ‘n draai te kom maak by die hospitaal. En moenie worry nie… ek’s genoeg rebel vir ons albei. xxx

Reading over your recent entries – first of all, Oh Rebellious Bouncy One – on the odd occasion that you are simply feeling too tired to even pray – just remember that it is absolutely okay simply to share with God your truth that you are Really Tired – He is big enough to take it, and it does help.
Secondly, I think it is probably very clever of Wouterjie to keep the type of food he eats at hospital separate from what he eats at home – so that when he is at home he doesn’t have to be reminded of hospital. And anyway – when we are in hospital, don’t we all long for that comfort “junk” food?! Particularly when we feel nauseous and everything tastes funny! Perhaps slip some vitamins into the junk food? I’ll see if I can think of any novelty foods for toddlers.
It does spring to mind that as a toddler, our eldest son hated vegetables but ate them eagerly when they were presented as stir-fry (very little fat – mostly steamed) and fed to him with chop-sticks so that he could eat his food “like chinese children”.
Lots of love and prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can help out with.
