Kix
I'm way behind on posts. I decided to do a fancy dinner for Spencer two nights ago:
3 oz baked talapia
2 tbs olive oil
1 c brown rice
8 oz prune juice
2 c rice milk
4 oz bananas
1.5 c peas
Either the fish didn't settle well or the prune juice...more on that...
Last night's blend:
3 oz canned chicken
2 c cooked oatmeal
2 c rice milk
2 tbs flax oil
1 c peaches
1.5 c peas
Noticed I didn't put any prune juice in. He was puke free all day today. Since we have been adding prunes, Spencer has been refluxing a lot more often. It's not an allergy, it's just hard stuff to digest, according to a few adult tubie friends.
Tonight's blend:
4 c Kix cereal
2 c rice milk
2 tbs flax oil
1 banana
1/2 florida avocado
1 can of tuna low sodium
1.5 c green beans
The Kix were a hell of a lot of fun to blend. Spencer has been a little terrorist all evening, so it was a great stress reliever.

1/2 c kidney beans
1 oz meat with gravy
2 c cantaloupe
1.5 c peas
3 packages of grits (prepared)
2 c rice milk
1 tbsp Flax oil

I don't think beans agree with Spencer. He puked twice today;(
Tonight's blend is extra smooth. If he gets a clog at daycare tomorrow I'm liable to strangle someone. I strained the whole blend.

Gabage Blend Approved by Finn
So last night's blend:
3 oz chicken
1 mango
4 oz prune juice
2 c rice milk
2 c oatmeal
1 1/2 c green beans
2 tbsp flax oil
Daycare still had issues getting him fed. I had to go back and unclog his tube, luckily we were still in the area as daycare is about 20 minutes away. I come to find out they are using a god awful med port, which the tubing is narrower than on the straight ports. Upon discovering his spare straight port was no longer in the bad, and I just keep a med port in the emergency bag in the car, I promised to send him one on Monday. Hopefully that helps with their issues. They only did like half his feed at 3pm...so annoying!
Tonight's blend was a mess. I was over on calories...I forgot to add his prune juice before I added extra olive oil. Then, the fucking spinach wasn't blended good enough, so I had to go back and sift all the chunks out with the strainer.
1 c spinach
.5 c lima beans
1 can on tuna
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbs flax oil
2 c oatmeal
2 c rice milk
4 oz prune juice
1.5 c papaya
1 banana (it was going to go bad)
= One hot mess
I had the tuna, papaya, spinach, and half the rice milk in the bowl, as I was at the blender. I turns around and Finn (our eccentric cat) has her head in the bowl sampling Spencer's "yuck" (it's what his dad started calling it. It has stuck). I justified not making a new blend with the fact that Spencer wouldn't stop licking the shopping cart at the grocery store yesterday and Finn's mouth has to be cleaner than that.

Grits
Behind on updating. No puke for over two days!
Last night's blend:
1.5 c brown rice
2 c rice milk
1 table spoon of olive oil
1 tbs flax oil
3 oz meat with gravy
1 c mixed berries
1/2 avocado
Tonight's blend:
3 packets of grits
2 c rice milk
1.5 tbs flax oil
3 oz tuna in olive oil
2 bananas
1.5 c peas
We also took a trip up to Jungle Jim's today. I was sorely disappointed that nearly all gluten free snacks had something else that Spencer's couldn't eat in them. We wound up getting him some cookies that are lactose, soy, nut, wheat, egg, and chocolate free.

Another allergy?!!!
Ok...so we've made a discovery, that makes perfect sense now...Spencer is probably allergic to wheat gluten. So with that added to allergies to peanuts, lactose, casein, soy and chocolate, it's making life interesting for us. He goes to peds tomorrow, so I'm going to get a consult for some allergy tests.
Anyhow, last nights blend:
2 c oatmeal
2 c rice milk
2 tbs flax oil
1.5 c green beans
2 oz tuna
2 oz of baby food meat with gravy
2 bananas
1 3.5 oz jar of prunes

Cream of Crap
So I used cream of wheat in Spencer's blend last night. It seems like he doesn't digest it as well as the oatmeal. So either I'm sticking to oats for a while. I'm going to attempt some brown rice in the near future.
Anyhow:
3 oz of Tuna...I had to get fancy tuna that is just water, tuna, and salt. Everything else seemed to have soy in it
2 c rice milk
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs flax oil
2 bananas
3 packages of prepared cream of wheat
1 3.5 oz jar of prunes
1.5 c carrots
Spencer also had an epic poop today...on his dad. I've been trying to add things that will aid in digestion and giving him more free water. It seems to have worked because he leaked out the side of his diaper on his dad's lap:)

Lazy Night
Tonight's blend:

1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs flax oil
2 4 oz jars of strawberries and bananas
1 4 oz jar of bananas
3 oz baby food meat with gravy
1.5 c peas
2 c rice milk
1220 calories
I need to do Spencer's Elecare trial at some point...problem is that I just really don't want to. I guess I might as well get it out of the way over this long weekend. I might not even have to do more than a day or two of it, as long as he seems to tolerate it.
