Fred, you bring up a very good point. Yes, I do tell Mark I love him throughout the day, and when we have deep discussions about CF, treatments, the future.... But I don't say on a daily basis, "honey, could you please do your meds/vest, you know I'm only asking because I love you". Although, that might just be the ticket. Everyone likes to hear that they are loved, and maybe incorporating it into me asking him/reminding him to do his meds will help out a great deal.
Maybe I mis-wrote something somewhere (highly possible!!) but Mark does take enzymes and they've been tweaked and tweaked. he's been through a lot of tests to determine his need of caloric intake and it's an incredible amount. But it works for him so we just shop and shop and shop for groceries. I love him and the weight and muscles keep him motivated so I encourage it.
THanks for pointing that out though Fred, I never thought of doing it like that. He might be more receptive if I approach it that way. I mean, he knows my intentions/the purpose of me asking, but it certainly won't hurt to say it again.
