CHOC Day 10: A Special Surprise!

I TOOK MY MEDICINE BY MOUTH!

JUST READING A BOOK WITH AUNTIE HALEY

Today was so much fun! My sister Haley came to CHOC to visit Caitlin and I and share a meal with us. Caitlin had no clue she was the surprise and almost peed her pants when she saw her there! Today was also another fabulous eating day as we got to eat in many different places.

First things first, Caitlin has now taken all of her meds by mouth 3 times now, as she just did it a little while ago tonight. Second, she was running out of clean clothes (even though I packed 2 weeks worth), and so we went to try on jeans that fit her just 9 days ago and she couldnt put them on, because she has gained so much weight! Ahhhmazing,

I...CANT...BUTTON..ITTTT

Breakfast was good, 2 french toast sticks, 25% of a bagel with cream cheese, tried some scrambled eggs, all of her carnation instant chocolate milk, and some honey dew. We ate in the normal cafeteria at breakfast.
AM snack was peaches, goldfish and vanilla pudding, all of which were demolished, and we ate in our room because we were both lazy by that point of the day lol

Lunch was a little something different. She tried fish sticks for the first time and she LOVED them. She dipped them in -what else?- Caitlin sauce. She also wanted mashed potatoes and cooked carrots again. She ate both fish sticks, part of her carrots and almost all her mashed potatoes, and milk. We ate in the fancy cafeteria at the conjoined St Josephs hospital.

AM Snack

After lunch Haley showed up, and we just took it easy in our room and waiting for PM snack to come. Luck for Haley she got to be involved in one of Caitlin's therapy sessions and I am pretty sure she laughed through the whole session. Caitlin had a 1/2 of a ham sandwich with Caitlin sauce, Jello, sun chips and her milk. She did a great job and pretty much laid in a food coma on the way back up to our room.

Dinner was a little bit fun. Caitlin requested that we eat where radio lollipop broadcasts, so we set up shop there. Then At 6:00 I realized why she wanted to eat down there...it was a radio lollipop night. So after her chicken strip, carrots again, and french fries we headed into the studio, where Caitlin is obsessed with introducing songs to everyone listening lol. She did a great job, but we needed to give the other kids turns so we retreated our room for the night.

DINNER NEXT TO RADIO LOLLIPOP

I MADE AND ELEPHANT CUP HOLDER FOR MY DAD!

ITS THE BIEBER CURSE. NOOOOOOOOO!

She is now passed out happily with Jello in her belly from taking her medicine (that she spilled first then we got a second dose after a lonnngg wait). Tomorrow Stephen gets here and I think Caitlin just might become the happiest little girl in the world.
