My DS was 2st3 and weighs now only 1st8 and you can notice his frail body - its almost skeletal and makes me so sad. The problem is that he had tonsilitis xmas eve and since vomitting on a few occasions with the cough and sore throat has completely refused food and only sips water (has bright red lips but just about hydrated) no energy or spark and I am so aware of how i handle this and the impact it will have on him so have been v sensitive putting the food out as normal and asking him to do his best - a nibble or push around the plate with nothing and he has his head in his hands saying he has had enough - so i say ok and take it away... not wanting to push it - have explained to him he IS better now and can try stuff and bought favourites including treats to NO avail whatsover - I am so so worried - anyone else been here - advice much appreciated... thanks

all liquids, but with some calories in there.
