As many of you know, our almost 20-year-old daughter was very sick the first 2 weeks of January with Flu A that turned into bronchitis that turned into bacterial pneumonia that turned into the beginning stages of sepsis. After two trips to the ER in the first few days January, she was admitted to the ICU step down unit at the hospital for a few days. (We are so grateful they caught the sepsis right at the beginning stages or it could have been so much worse. You can read more here.)
She lost a lot of weight and her recovery has been slow, but she felt well enough and had good enough blood work results to be able to move back to Murfreesboro, TN where she lives and goes to college. (Gratefully, her semester starts tomorrow instead of earlier in the month like many schools, so it gave her more time to rest and recover!)
She moved back to her house there today and I sent her with a week’s worth of meals so she would have nutritious food to eat, but wouldn’t have to think about cooking and could focus on continuing to recover and on school. Here’s what I made for her:
Food I Made For Kathrynne:
5 meals of ground beef and onions with rice
4 meals of salmon and rice
Quinoa
Homemade granola bars
Homemade Energy Bites (I added protein powder as a mix-in to make these a little heartier!)
Also sent with her for quick meals: Oatmeal packets, yogurt and granola, Quest bars, cuties, steamed veggies, pre-cooked chicken, apples)
