OFFTOPIC: Jaw fracture ... jaw sealed for 6 weeks ...

[Guest guest]

Hello Parents,

My niece (21 years old) passed out yesterday and fell flat on the ground (face

on the floor).

She fractured her jaw and tomorrow the Dr's are putting special braces and

wiring.

Her jaw will be pretty much sealed for 6 long weeks. She is not allowed to eat

any regular food.

She can drink ONLY LIQUIDS THROUGH STRAW for the 6 week period. I am so worried

about

her nutrition. My sister will have to be very creative to make different shakes

for her

(same consistency like smoothie/applesauce, maybe thinner for the straw).

Any extra over the counter supplements you recommend? What kinds of food should

we puree?

Any recommendations to ensure a balanced diet is given during this time?

I will wait for your response.

Thank you!

Regards,

Mom
