Lunch: Ice Cream Brownie Sundae
Dinner: 1/2 C. Beef Stew, Ice Cream w/Apple Crisp
This is what Mom ate today.
She rarely ever feels "hunger".
Each meal comes as a total surprise to her, however she is usually good to eat whatever is put onto her plate. She reminds me that she was raised in the country and they were taught to not waste food, so she tries to always "finish her plate".
Cereal is her usual breakfast - she likes the taste and she can fix it herself, which is something she is proud of doing. I usually prepare her lunch, but today we had business across town so I pulled through a Burger King. My daughter and I both ordered a Whooper Jr. & drink - Mom ordered a Brownie Ice Cream Sundae. Yes, I was a bit surprised, but she insisted that was what she wanted (and all she wanted), so an ice cream sundae it was. Later, when we sat down to dinner, I was even more surprised when she only ate a small bit of her soup (we all woofed down 2 bowls each). She didn't "finish her plate" (bowl) - VERY unusual for her, but she did eat every bite of her dessert. *smile* I'm hoping this was just an "off day", and not the beginning of a problem. Mom is quite small and it would not be good for her to lose any weight. I understand that losing one's appetite is often another step in the Alzheimer's progress. Praying this is not the case for her.
