For the past few months Emma has not been wanting to eat. When she does, she eats half a chicken nugget and few Fry's or maybe a little fruit. I just don't know what else to do... When I took her to the cardiologist three months ago I brought the issue up, but he said that everything looked fine. I just don't know if everything is really OK... I mean how healthy can it be to not eat... I know everyone says that heart kids have alot more difficulty eating, but this is more than difficult, this is a lack of... This is really stressing me out, I mean I just don't know what else to do to help her, I feel so helpless. I know that if she does not start eating that could mean a whole new round of test or maybe surgery sooner than later. I can only pray to God that he gives me and my family the strength to journey down this path and to give Emma comfort and his hand to hold, whatever path she will be taking.
Please pray for Emma, please pray for her to stay healthy and to stay strong during this long road I know she will have one day.
I will update soon, I am going to call the cardiologist tomorrow...

We have had the same issue with Addison. She only eats about 5 things: mac & cheese, pb&j, turkey dogs, chicken nuggets, and fries. She won't it any fruits or vegetables. She will eat the dole fruit cups, so I try to buy them without the extra sugar added. The only thing that I can tell you that I do is I make her drink the diest V8 berry blend juice. it is 1.99 and has servings of fruit and veggies and tastes just like regular juice. At least i know she is getting some vitamins that way. I also started her on flintstone(sp) vitamins.Addison would rather snack than eat a meal. When she sits down to eat, she might only eat 2 chicken nuggets. I was punishing her with times outs, etc. for not eating, but it didn't matter. If she didn't want to eat, she wouldn't.
