my husband hasn't eaten for nearly a week - update.

Would he drink a complain type thing?

Hope he is well soon x

Is he drinking plenty of fluids? Would he manage a cup of warm soup like cream of tomato?

He is drinking tea and coffee - nothing else. He won't eat soup [is a stupidly fussy eater at the best of times] doubt he would drink complan etc. I suggested weetabix at night as it can be pretty mushy - he won't entertain the idea.

I even asked his mum to have a word ? she rings him every night to ask whether he has eaten.....

he is going to work - doing a manual type job which makes me more concerned. Just got to hope that the doctor tells him to eat tomorrow i think

Poor Mr Swampy, I hope the doctor sorts him out tomorrow, is he throat still very sore? Perhaps some veg soup might help, easy to eat and very good for you. Generally manages to perk Mr Dooby up when he's under the weather.

? to you both

That does sound a bit worrying, I'm surprised he has any energy to do his manual job. Mind you my H is like that in a way, he won't eat all day as he'd rather just get his jobs done, but he'll eat in the evening.

I hope the doctor sorts him out tomorrow and he'll be back to his normal self soon. ?

That must be really worrying. Would he drink hot chocolate? You could make it with full fat milk. Hope that the doctor can help.

That's worrying ☹️ I know how stressed I get when Mr G doesn't eat for a whole shift!

Hope he gets sorted soon, maybe when he can't do his job properly tomorrow he'll realise that soup is better than nothing.

<bump> in case anyone is wondering....

Glad you know what it is now ST and your H can get on with getting better x

Thanks for the update. Awww poor Mr Swampy having glandular fever is pants, i hope he is on the mend and feeling more like his usual self really soon.

Also keeping fingers crossed you and the children don't come down with it either.

i am actually quite glad that i had a bad case of thrush a few weeks ago that i am just finishing the treatment for.... has meant no MU for ages here so minimal chance of me catching GF from H. Fingers crossed anyway.... he is avoiding the baby as much as he can just in case
