Believe me I know it. Food refusal vs med schedule…
Maybe just a spoonful of peanut butter. If there’s difficulty swallowing (or it would be painful for her mouth to manage) then try a bit of peanut butter thinned with yogurt, or just straight up yogurt. Even a shot glass or tablespoon worth of a soft food is at least something. Vaalia do tiny tubs or there are yogurt pouches she can hold by herself.
If she doesn’t do sweet stuff plain yogurt is an option, or baby food is another thing that comes in pouches. It’s not dignified to eat baby food but she will have the option to feed herself. There’s also thinned cream/cottage cheese or different types of dips.
Also she doesn’t have to finish the whole thing the same day. A tub or jar can last a few days in the fridge if you cover it and use a clean spoon each time. A pouch can be squeezed onto a spoon.
Ensure comes in neutral flavour now if too much sugar makes her nauseous. It still contains oligosaccharides which can upset your stomach a bit but they will be helpful to keep her stomach moving when she isn’t eating a lot. Diluting it will help.
Hang in there. It’s not really realistic that her team would have meetings but hopefully there’s some way for them to talk to each other.
