I don't know the answer to that, but I would say to stay close and tell her you love her everyday.... God Bless..

Give high calorie snacks frequently.

My husband is in that same space. He eats very little, but does drink one high calorie Ensure each day. He will take one or two bites of food at each meal and says I’m done or that’s enough. He no longer likes food he used to like.
