Creative Nutrition

Over the past week my Oma who has alzheimers has been increasingly having problems eating. This obviously is a concern because if she's not eating properly her condition wil deteriorate more quickly. She tends to chew her food but won't swallow it and spits it back on her plate. I know that's disgusting, but that's what we're facing now. My cousin was joking with me last night that we could write a book and market this as the zero calorie diet. . . "Eat all you want and zero calorie intake!" We could make millions. Joking aside, we're concerned Oma's not eating properly. My Aunt had a creative idea (this is the good kind of creativity) that she tried out a few days ago though. . .

My grandparents were over at my Aunt and Uncle's for dinner and Oma wasn't eating her meal. When my grandparents are over at their house for dinner though they often have a drink afterwards. A lightbulb went off in my Aunt's head and she proceeded to make my Oma a drink. She decided she'd make her a brown cow (Kaluha and Milk) but substitute the milk with Ensure (a high calorie nutritional supplement drink). My Oma drank the entire thing! I guess you do whatever it takes to get the nutrients in! Hehehe. . .
