A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight gain/cholesterol: It is slightly difficult to once a year quotient since you did not mention to him on his present weight. It would be nice to know that to mom is underweight or she has poor appetite. The best thing for her would be to take appetite stimulant medication to gain some weight without increasing her cholesterol. She can also increase her fat intake which is low in cholesterol.
