Taking Care of Josi
Everything she needs, twice a day. She'll tell you the rest.

🌅 Breakfast
7:00 – 10:00 AM
- About 1 to 1½ cups of food
- 5 pills from the AM side of the blue medicine box
- Pills go in one pill pocket (Ziploc bag) — they all fit
🌙 Dinner
6:00 – 9:00 PM
- About 1 to 1½ cups of food
- 3 pills from the PM side of the blue medicine box
- Same trick: one pill pocket, done
Food rules (very relaxed)
Amounts are loose.
1 to 1½ cups per meal is the target, not a law.
Leftovers at dinner?
If breakfast food is still in the bowl, just top it off to about 1½ cups.
She finishes and asks for more?
Give her more. She does not overeat at home.
Heading out for the day?
If the bowl is low or empty, go ahead and top it off before you leave.
Medication cheat sheet
Blue medicine box
Pills are pre-sorted into AM and PM compartments. AM = 5 pills, PM = 3 pills.
Pill pockets
In the Ziploc bag next to the box. Stuff all the pills into one pocket and she eats it like a treat.
Timing
Pills always go with a meal — breakfast pills at breakfast, dinner pills at dinner.
