We're trying to work through it. Bottom line: if he doesn't eat, he can't stay. We're going to get his fav cereal for breakfast, and put half a pb/j in the canteen for a snack. Pushing/hoping for at least a cup of milk at lunch, and another half pb/j for supper. He takes meds to boost his appetite, to counteract meds that have "appetite suppressant" as a side effect.
I asked what he eats: "nothing."
But you have to eat sometimes... "I eat sometimes."
Awesome, what do you eat sometimes? ...(silence)
His sister said he would eat cut up hot dogs with a scoop of chili, but he certainly did not. I offered him everything I could think of, all colors and textures, and not a spark of agreement. We called the parents for the pb/j tip. I don't care if he wants to eat a spoon of peanut butter dipped in tuna chunks three times a day. I'll feed anyone whatever they need to be comfortable and happy. But they have to eat.
I have Epsom salt lotion at home if I can find it. I already take vitamin d, but I'll look into magnesium too.
good evening
