Weight up!

20 December 2023

The doc had told us not to keep weighing SE, to leave the monitoring to her.   The next appointment was three weeks after the first. Voila, her weight had gone up 2kg!  So THIS is what it takes to get her weight up!  

For weeks I'd been puzzled.  After noticing the problem, we had been watching to make sure she was eating.  Yet how come she wasn't putting on weight and in fact was slowly getting worse?  Was there something wrong with her body as well?  Could she have a deficiency in absorbing nutrients?  Was she somehow getting rid of the food she was eating?  Should we go to other doctors to check for other problems?  All the worries were going round and round my head.

So the secret was to increase her food intake substantially.  And if she can put on weight like this, it must mean her body was working fine.  At this rate, it wouldn't be too long before she was out of danger zone!  The situation was finally improving.  After the weeks and months of worry, relief flooded through me. 

Looking better

It would all come crashing down.
