Beowulf, try Ensure or some other dietary liquid supplement. She may like the chocolate or vanilla. Failing that, talk to her doctor and tell her what she’s doing. Since she sleeps almost all day, her caloric needs are minimal, but she still needs to eat. Contact your state’s Dept.of aging services. A local hospice near me were a help when my Dad was dying from colon cancer. God Bless, and don’t hesitate to email me if you need more help.

My Dad really liked the new peach flavored kind of Ensure, he couldn’t stand the other flavors, but peach was hard to get. What kept him going for his final year, though, was a daily real vanilla malt and a drive to the burger place drivethru to get it, and often his appetite would improve enough on the way that he’d want a burger to; he liked Frisco Melts. Not cheap, but worth it. The managers and employees at both Dairy Queen and Steak n Shake were sweet, they often slipped extra cherries into his malt for him, which they fixed when they spotted us coming.
