A quick update on my aunt.

I brought her home Thursday (I may have mentioned this) and have a 24-hour live-in caregiver.

The first evening she was animated, ate a good meal, and seemed well.

Yesterday, she refused to get out of bed (except for a shower), refused to eat except for a protein shake. She promised me yesterday that she would get up today and eat breakfast.

This morning, she got dressed but then refused to get up and did not want anything to eat.

I am not sure how to handle this

I went and ran errands for a bit this morning and continued praying about my aunt not eating.

When I got back, the adjustable hospital table arrived and I assembled it and placed it by her bed. I set it up like she had it at the rehab and mentioned that when she gets hungry, I could prop her up in bed and she can eat from the table.

I went out to clean up the packaging and when I came back in, her caregiver told me that she had just finished a banana and avocado, prepared at my aunt's request

This morning my aunt had her usual scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast.

I thanked her for eating and told her how worried I had been.

And ironically, her cat came out and ate her treats for the first time since my aunt has been home.

My aunt had dinner today. Sausage and eggs, which is what she had for breakfast.

Which kind of confused her caregiver.

I gently told the caregiver that breakfast for dinner is good. Especially if my aunt will eat it.

Amen to that.

I am hoping that hunger gets to her eventually.

Thank you my friend.

@TXPatriot2021 whatever she wants as long as she eats. That can be a big hurtle. Comfort food, familiar food, what she can remember eating and liking. Also what won’t upset their system. It can be a fine tuning game.
