Nola will be returning home soon, we are looking forward to aiding her and her parents in this time of recovery. I created this meal train as a way for people to organize some of the ways we can help.
Nola will have dietary restrictions, for example, during week 1-3 of recovery it is recommended that she AVOID raw vegetables and high fiber foods. Please NO nuts, popcorn, corn, beans, whole grains, leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage or the like, spicy or fried food and seeds. RECOMENDED foods are white rice, pasta, refined grains, some cooked veggies (carrots, green beans, peeled zucchini), Tender chicken, eggs, fish, tofu, ripe bananas, apple sauce, and canned fruit. This info coms directly from a pamphlet from the hospital. Also if you want food her parents can also eat, please remember that Jenn is allergic to nuts. Nola will have to avoid them for a bit while she heals, but Jenn can't have them at all.
