Liquorice

When Riley was younger, and even now, she LOVED liquorice, whch is NOT my favourite, or Claudia's for that matter.

It seems though that Ethan loves it too...

As part or our incentive program to get Riley to eat, she has been getting a piece of liquorice if she eats all her dinner, so we decided to give Ethan a piece too... The result speaks for itself!

What amazes me is that they both really love the stuff.

Riley's eating also seems to be a bit better. We had her Iron levels checked this week, and they are much improved, though not 100%, so she will continue the Feremed for another 3 months tille Ethan goes for his 1 year check up and then discuss with Dr. Kara.

He has however suggested that we give her a supplement, which is nto to replace any meals. We are using Pediassure, which seems to be working so far.

Since her first dose on Saturday she has eaten really well, even though the supplement could be expected to cause her to want to skip a meal!
