Graham continues to struggle with his appetite and weight lose. I've stopped asking because it has become too depressing to hear. His stomach is concave, his legs and arms are like toothpicks, and when he glances at himself in the mirror, he's disgusted with himself. I remind him often of how hot and attracted to him I still am, but we all know, self image and self appreciation is the most important.
During Graham's last hospital stay, Girl Scouts announced "It's cookie time!" Now, we have always stocked up with 2 boxes of Thin Mints and thrown them into the freezer. These typically lasted us until the summer. Graham has been turning down all his favorite foods so it was a shot in the dark that I bought a box from a neighborhood scout and took them to the hospital. In 2 days they were gone! He ate a silver roll a night. I have a precious Girl Scout in my class and I quickly ordered 2 more boxes - those were gone within 5 days! So I ordered 2 more! If I correctly did the math...that's 640 calories and 32 grams of fat as a midnight snack! Every foodie's dream - I just watch and drool.
