I am concerned about my mother... I visited my parents today for mother's day. They are not living near me so I do not see them very often. They are in a place where there is staff to take care of older people. Since recently my mother's diet has been changed to solely mixed half liquid fruit and some vitamins, nothing else, because the staff and doctor pretend she cannot eat solid food anymore. My sister says she had no problem eating solid food whenever my sister is around, (but she eats slower because she had a stroke last year), my sister goes there several times a week (and today we gave her solid food and it gave no problem and she ate well)... but according to my sister she is now actually forbidden by the doctor to give her solid food. But my sister is worried that she won't live long anymore if she has to survive on solely fruit and some liquid vitamins. My sister's profession is a nurse in a home since nearly 40 years, she has a great amount of experience. My brother agrees with the decision of the doctor because just like me he would not dare go against a doctor decision. Although I think indeed my sister is right that an only fruit diet will weaken her.
I feel concerned about the situation and I pray to the Lord for clarity and wisdom. In Jesus Name. amen
