And just an add-on - lilima - please don't feel judged as a parent. You do the best for J each and every day - his condition is not your fault. And you have the right to have your own anxiety and stress - you're doing the best you can to deal with it, but you're human honey - and sometimes all of the stress and emotion just spills over a bit. Big though - it's hard to see the forest for the trees some days and it gets so overwhelming. I've been having a few of those days myself lately and it's hard not to doubt yourself, but remember, you are doing a fantastic and very difficult job.
BR - we have the opposite - dinner's fine, getting DS to eat lunch is always an issue. We've got to a point where we don't bother with a 'formal' lunch, we just put food under his nose (literally) throughout the day and see what gets eaten. Dinner though, he will happily eat a huge bowl of whatever we put into his mouth, followed by a huge bowl of fruit, as long as he has TV to distract himself with. Without TV, he won't touch even his favourite foods. And most nights, we have to feed it to him. I know it's probably a bit of a no-no, but seeing he's all ribs, I'd rather he eats a decent meal than make a fuss over how he eats it. Breakfast, on the other hand, he will eat himself - sitting down nicely at his table, and eating it all by himself. I suspect that by dinner time, he's just tired and it's all a bit difficult for him.
