Collapsed lung

[Rel]

No. This being a pretty miserable country, we have nothing for which to give thanks.

Well there's always the Spice Girls! A national treasure they were!

Except my sister being back! Shes off school and not heavy lifting. She'll miss her weight lifting j/k......

She has diet for anemia she was diagnosed with in hospital that didn't help. She now has to eat less coffee (Iron inhibitor) and more pumpkin seeds. unfortunatly she is the fussiest eater I know, mostly anything with Iron in it shes does like: Beef, Liver, kidney, Spinich, Brocley (SP), and many more iron rich foods.

Any food ideas?

Thnaks for all your help!

The next time little sis gets particular about her food the Dad Creature sits her down and tells her in no uncertain terms, "You're not too old to spank." Make sure he uses the Dad Look and the Dad Voice. She forces the issue the belt comes off.

Seriously, she's still a child. She's going to do the sensible thing even if it kills her. Stand firm and don't let her manipulate you.

BTW, bananas for potissium. Sounds like she needs that to. And don't forget the quiet moments just cuddling. That should do her a world of good.

I love all that stuff too!

Glad to hear that your sister is out of the hospital.

I'm assuming you meant "doesn't like" (or else there wouldn't be a problem). My doctors always say, "The best diet is one that you'll actually follow." Maybe rather than having your parents trying to ride herd on what a teenager eats they should just buy her some iron suppliments from the nutrition store. That might be the least painful solution that doesn't fight against her food preferences.

Shes on Ferrous Sulphate (Iron tablets), plus eating a pot of various seed which bring up her iron to what the doictor said. Were going to try her on ultra-lean minced beef soon.

She isn't like a brat about it and she'll try stuff out, but she just doesn't like it.

p.s plus she doesn't like bananas

Stinks to be her, don't it?

Mix the banana into something else. Cuz she needs the potassium. Sounds to me her collapsed lung is part of a larger problem. Let her know you all want her to get better, and you like having her around. Hugs and cuddles are called for here, and maybe a dog. A friendly, let me cuddle up next to you dog. A pekinese or pekinese mix. I have yet to meet a more self-confident small dog than a pekinese. Give your sister someone she can talk to and confide in.

And if she's allergic to dogs, get her desensitized. :grump:
