Yesterday

far too much weight:

Benecalorie®: An unflavored, nutrient-dense, high-calorie, and protein supplement that can be added to most foods and beverages to enhance nutritional content. It mixes well with milkshakes, hot cereal, and yogurt.

I added it to mash potatoes, shakes, scrambled eggs, soups, just about anything soft or liquid that he could get down.

Thing of you Tornado and sending you love.
