feeling and eating better

by now, jude is eating better. in fact, he finished his dinner in peace for the first time in .... a few days, but feel like donkey months to me. we brought him for his appointment at KKH for his constipation problem and was given the usual sugar solution, but a larger dosage for an longer period of time. i've come to accept that Jude's pangsai problem, as well as fussy eating, is a result of psychological issues. He's probably ignoring his feelings to go because of previous failures and time causes the stools to harden further. as for eating, i am guilty of force feeding. have been reading up for ways to gain his trust again. next appointment to KKH is set to be 2 months later. Hope for the best!

Something i would like to note down for memory sake. Today jude had to take a blood test, which is for something to do with ruling out possibilities of side effects due to chronic constipation. the poor boy, he didn't know what was going on and he was rather tired by the time he had to take the blood test. amazingly, he didn't cry out loud when the needle was poked into him. although his eyes were brimming with tears and he whimpered, he remained still throughout the ordeal. i was amazed, pleased and touched at his bravery.
