Neil: Dietary advice

Neil and the girls having their lunch

Jasmine’s bloods continue to be stable. Her creatinine was 32 rather than 24, but the doctors were happy that this was due to reducing her fluid target. The kidney is working well, which is brilliant. She has so much more energy and is now trying to pull herself up onto her feet. Mainly she shuffles around on her bottom though.

We are now trying to get her to eat some more food. She has been sitting with us for meals, and has been tucking into Quorn tikka masala. She is really good at picking things up with her fork, but is taking some time to get the hang of chewing. She licks whatever is on her fork. Next week we may see a speech and feeding therapist to help with some ideas on how to train her to chew.

Calista is getting the hang of feeding and ate a whole baby jar of rice pudding. She loves eating and is always grabbing the spoon and giving it a good chew.

We have been getting on top of the chores too. The bathroom extractor fan needed replacing, as did a light bulb, and we got all our food delivered, as we still are not supposed to take Jasmine into busy shops until her immuno-suppression medication is finalised.
