it's a two banana day

Poor mom is suffering from shingles.

She's so uncomfortable that it would make you cry to see the rash she's enduring.

The doctor has her on an antiviral, and hopefully she'll feel better very soon.

But, I'm having a hard time getting her to eat or drink.  She has no appetite and no interest in drinking or eating.  Above she's eating the last banana. (That was earlier today, in the morning.)  

Later, though, Stephan brought home more for her, but they were too green to eat easily (and she's so out of it, I'm worried about her choking).  So, I mashed it up for her.  Hopefully, she'll eat some.  If not I'll feed it to her.  I got her to eat applesauce this morning and managed to feed a little bit of her oatmeal before she refused to eat any more.  Also, got one Boost down, but she is mostly refusing to drink.  Shingles is a horrible, painful event.

You can see the pain in her face :-(

Edit:  Stephan got her to laugh, though.  He came in eating an onion like most people eat apples, and he offered her some.  She laughed at that.  He's a really good person for cheering a body up!
