I don't know if this is of interest to anyone, but I got an email from Uno's offering a free kid's meal with an adult's if you have a snow day this week.
Ha! Apparently the guy who took Grace's order realized how pissed I was. The dietician just called the nurse. Who just came in to clarify.
Good!
Kat, I hope everyone survived your wrath. And that Grace gets a good breakfast.
I should be doing something productive.
That is infuriating, Kat!
We had issues with Bob getting sent food he wasn't supposed to eat when he was at Hopkins after his surgery. Also getting solid foods sent up before he was allowed to eat them! Not as bad as your situation but, still, it was a total communication fail!
The dietician just called. She's all, "But the computer says that I can't and I'll get in trouble for it."
"Um. If you don't, I'll walk down to the cafeteria, buy applesauce and yogurt myself along with juice and just feed her. I am in charge of her diet. She does NOT get milk, formula or orange juice. To send that up would make her reflux."
Last night I ordered fish, peas, carrots, applesauce, yogurt and cranberry juice and no one blinked. For lunch she had turkey and gravy, carrots, green beans, pureed peaches, yogurt, juice and again no issues.
what changed in the computer since then?
I better head down to the cafeteria now.
I understand the worry, just get sand trucks out everywhere though. grrr.
Fear the ire of a chronically sick kid's mother. Don't fuck with that shit.

I'm sure they don't have enough -- and didn't I see somewhere that the teams have their own sand trucks now?
oh probably. It feels ridiculous to be stuck at home with what I see out the window.

Huh. I would have said something nasty like "clearly the hospital is wasting their money paying a dietician. A high school student could follow the directions on the computer."
