Iron levels rising

Our daughter's blood chemistry is slowly returning to normal. This is not helped of course by the awful diet she is being fed while in hospital: white toast and butter, baked potato and cheese, mushroom stroganoff. She doesn't like anything sweet so fruit juice or actual fruit aren't an option for her.

I've just had a text to say that she's been down to the restaurant for food and has had some sunshine into the bargain.

What she does need is a good thick steak and some green vegetables, but that will probably have to wait until she's home from hospital. I can envisage several steak dinners ahead for us, as mother and daughter strive to improve their blood counts.
