The bottomless pit

The steroids that Isaiah is taking are causing him to eat amounts that are unnatural to his body size.  He eats continually throughout the day.  There is no rest.  I am a short order cook, constantly in the kitchen finding something that will satisfy his cravings.  He eats to the point where he is in pain.  His belly is distended and hard.  If a certain food is not available, he melts down (also an effect of the steroids).  A typical day would look like this:

Wakes up at 6am. 

-hard boiled egg on toast

-full bowl of oatmeal

-1 yogurt

-1 bowl of soup

-sit on the couch "mama, I want something".  "What do you want Isaiah?" "Ummmmm, chicken and rice".  

-chicken and rice

-cheese

-lunch meat

-slice of bread and butter

-soup

-popcorn

-bowl of cereal

-noodles

-lunch meat

-crackers

-more cheese

-more chicken and rice

10am: Renee is tired of documenting food

He will not eat any fruit or vegetables and will have big meltdowns if we're out of something.  This is not Isaiah's personality.  He is an extremely well-behaved little boy.  The steroids have caused him to have minimal control of his emotions.  I have been directed by the doctors to comply with his wants.  Their reasoning is that Isaiah's brain is telling him he is hungry and is craving specific things.  Being only 2 years old, he cannot comprehend what is making him feel this way.  We do whatever we can to distract him for as long as we can but all he can think about is food.
