When Ben was in hospital a year ago for 5 days he barely ate. So, I got to finish his meals and it was freaking DELISH!!!! Then about 4 days in when he was over the worst and had turned the corner he got his appetite back and I selfishly was thinking "Darn. I could've finished that off!" ;) Bad mommy.

Well, he's on a clear diet, so today it was stuff like beef broth, jello, a popsicle, and tea. Last week we were at a world class hospital and they had an awesome cafeteria and we took all our meals there as it was important for his lungs for him to be up walking, but as he is out cold right now its me sitting here staring at slowly chilling beef broth and slowly melting popsicles :). Not tempting.

Now LAST week I was eating my face off as I was trying anything and everything to get him to eat. Like, Ice cream for breakfast? Come on jake, you can do it! Look at Mommy eating ice cream for breakfast! Mmmmmm, Ice cream! Want a bite? No? Okay, watch Mama finish it. (repeat 5 times a day :))

When my son Jake was in the hospital on and off for most of a year with cancer, he refused to eat any hospital food. I guess the chemo treatments make food taste different. But he loved frozen spagetti dinners. So they had a refrigerator that patients could use and we would stock it with frozen spagetti dinners and we would eat his hospital meal and he would eat spagetti instead :) They told us it was more important for him to eat something than worry about eating healthy. Somehow he never got tired of frozen Spagetti and still loves it.

I see the humour but it still made me tear up just now. No, beef broth doesn't sound very appealing. Blek.
