Eating only a little

Since Brocs last cath his eating has really gone down and actually before that too now that we think of it.We have discovered that his heart is not pumping enough blood to his stomach to digest his food so his whole digestive system has slowed down and can only do as much as it can with the amount of blood it is given.

So instead of eating like a horse like he used to he eats only half or less the amount of food that he normally eats.He has to eat all day but very small amounts.His drs are worried about his calorie intake and not so much the nutrient part.

He ate shrimp last night until he fell asleep. Broc gets to eat anything that gives him lots of calories.Ice-cream,milk shakes things like that.
