Food for Colin

See previous four posts.

All sorts of different kinds of food, including energetic.

See new post on Colin Cudmore’s caring bridge site. I just put it up. Heading back to Indy in a few minutes.

Obviously, I don’t have time or, especially, energy, for anything else right now.

Re: food from the material world: This morning I got up early enough to make him some applesauce with green apples, for the bromelain that results, an anti-inflammatory. We aren’t trying to do anything non-allopathic, e.g. homeopathy, until he is released from this extremely technical and continuously fine-tuned medical drama, with all sorts of meds they use both by mouth and injected. What we do have is the ability to bring him food, heart-healthy food that also tastes good; by his new standards, ANYTHING we bring tastes “delicious!” despite not including sodium or any kind of fat. His cousin Meg, a healer herself, said to bring the homemade applesauce; he had asked for rice with tiny pieces of liver (all organ meats good! even better would be kidneys, if we could find some locally). Liver helps with detoxifying all the drugs. So we brought that too.

We were feeding him by hand, until a nurse came in and said, very abruptly: “What’cha’ doin! You need to feed yourself!” Hilarious. We had no idea. Nor did he. But we were keeping him down by not asking him to feed himself, when he can!

She told us that a PT told her about having ICU patients feed themselves, if possible, because that’s the way they both relearn, and gather strength and flexibility. Duh!
