Hey Friends,
If you think of it pray for us. The diet isn't going the best. It is causing some serious constipation, and thus causing Aggie to not want to eat. So all this food weighed to the precise gram in a perfect ratio of 1 gram carb/protein to 4 grams of fat, and calculated to the exact calorie amount is not being consumed. :(
I wake up in the morning to cross multiplication of fractions in order to make scrambled eggs and bacon. The recipe looks like this:
11.8 grams of 36%cream
7 grams of "10% fruit" (we've been using orange and strawberry)
4.6 grams of bacon cooked crisp (oscar meyer)
10.1 grams raw egg mixed well
3 grams MCT oil
7.3 grams canolia
Then do your best to mix it all up and make it look delicious so a 3 year old who acts like a one year old so she might consider swallowing it instead of throwing it onto your pantry door and floor.
Incase you aren't familiar to how much a gram is, off the top of your head, b/c I had no tangible comparison until this past week, this recipe makes up a meal that could fit in the palm of my hand. It equals 175 calories, I know this b/c I did the math to ensure it. Basically 2 adult bites of egg/bacon combo and 1 bite of fruit. On a positive note, if she's not eating I don't have to cook. :/
Additionally Our Hosea has an ear infection, he is a little pitiful. We needed to reorganize a couple rooms in the house to Aggie proof them, that's mid task. And our back yard has 3 trees laying in it that were cut down 2 days ago. All the while trying to provide somewhat nutritional meals and do the maintenance cleaning required to sustain lives and run the home.
I'm carrying these verses around in my pocket;
Isaiah 43
"But now, this is what the Lord says- he who created you, O jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. for I am the Lord, your god, the Holy one of Isreal, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you. I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you."
Amen

I will pray, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteYes, me too. Will continue to pray. Does it have to be that exact food? Can you substitute produce with fats like avocadoes and whey protein powder and make smoothies? I'm sorry I know nothing about this. Just an idea off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Mike is there and able to help with everything, you all have a heavy load & the support of each other is a blessing. After having to start cooking gluten free & the pain I tought it was I can not emagine trying to do what you are doing. You are all always in my prayers & have put a prayer request in a box in a church in France. Pray Hosea has a speedy recovery & everyone else stays healthy & that sweet Salem continues to progress as well as she has been. May God be with you all.
ReplyDeleteMay God be with you all always!
