We had a decent day today…
Kerrie was in a good mood and feeling kind of hungry. It seems, now that we have stopped giving her the medication that is supposed to increase her appetite, that she is actually wanting to eat. The med was discontinued and suddenly she wants food.. all the time 🙂 Breakfast was a yummy concoction of cottage cheese and pears.. while we watched “Talladega Nights”

later we’re watching TV and, out of the blue, she says…”I think I want some scrambled eggs”… so, I’m out in the kitchen trying to make them as fast as I can and I hear… “And some toast..”

After a little while, she wanted boost.. then more boost.. and if I walked into the room chewing something she’d sit up and say” What are you eating? Can I have some?”

She spent most of the afternoon sitting at the desk, and reading the web page.. even put a post of her own in the gallery and had a good laugh looking at the pictures I put on there today. She wore herself out and wanted to go back to bed.. once she was in bed, I was off to take a shower. Asked her if she needed anything, before I went upstairs, but she said there was nothing she could think of.. halfway to the stairs and I hear, ” Unless you would like to get me a piece of chocolate”

Kerrie slept for a few hours and then Ron and TJ came over, with some deviled eggs ( One of Kerrie’s favorites).. she couldn’t have the ones they made, because anything like mustard and mayo needs to be in an individual package. She can’t have anything that’s been sitting in the fridge. So I made one for her. Figured she’d only eat one half, so I ate the other one. No sooner did I finish it.. and she asked if there was another one for her. She looked so disappointed when I told her I ate it. Sorry Ker-bear.

Kerrie suprised all of us by saying that she thought she would like to get out of bed for a while. Wow.. asking for Food.. AND wanting to get out of bed. Who kidnapped my sister and replaced her with this pod person?

So… we got her up again.. and then she asked me what we were having for dinner. Poor thing.. it’s been so long since she’s eaten, that I’d forgotten that she had been eating 6-8 small meals a day.. instead of 3 regular ones.. because of her bariatric surgery. Even with her tube feeding, she has started asking for food so much that I think I must have been starving her.

As I was leaving to go back to Ohio, Mom and Kerrie were planning their dinner. I think she voted for salmon and green beans.

Hey Kerrie, glad you’re eating…. but, don’t forget to tip your waitresses 🙂
