Fidgetbones I totally empathise it us so distressing for everybody. I wished I could have picked my tiny little Aunti up and taken her home with me last week. She is now under 6st. No one has ever mentioned Fortisip (?) I am guessing it is a fortified drink?
have a better week

Lilly pilly, there are lots of different types of foritsip etc, some are more like a juice as many older people wont tolerate a milkshake type drink, they can be very useful, there is one which is very concentrated and has the equivelent calories of an average sandwich, but in a reletively small volume which is great if they have lost their appetite
Its horrid to see someone become so tiny, its nice she has you to visit her and to worry for her x
You guys probably wont be supprised to hear there is a drive to take patients off fortisips etc as they are expensive! Thats possibly why they havent been offered
