CHOC Day 8: Day of the Sickenss

Well last night at about 1 am the crazy coughing started. Unfortunately being in a hospital you are going to undoubtedly get sick, even so its never fun. She finally got some cough medicine tonight so I am hoping we can both get a good night sleep tonight.

The morning went really well, she ate all of her waffle, some apples, bacon, milk and yogurt! It was her last therapy in the little rooms because we feel shes at the point already that she can go out into the outside world and thrive without hindering her eating.

Lunch was pretty fun, we went down to the cafeteria and ate with her therapist and then we saw Caitlins dietitian and her twin sister so they came to join us. Caitlin did amazing even with all those distractions! She had a half of a ham sandwich with "Caitlin Sauce" which is mustard, mayo and ketchup all mixed together to make the color of her hair LOL. She also ate celery again, animal cracker and milk. I think she was a little overwhelmed at first with not eating in therapy because for once the child couldnt even speak lol.

PM snack was also a blast, we ate in the neighboring hospitals cafeteria, with a few friends. She had a giant banana, vanilla pudding, chocolate milk, and carrots.

Dinner I decided since we were rolling with the abnormal eating places, that we would eat downstairs in our cafeteria again and then head over to radio lollipop. For dinner she had baked mac n cheese, peas which she actually liked, french fries and milk. I let her have the frozen yogurt from the cafeteria and I think she just about peed her pants.

All in all a good day. I didnt get to take any pictures, I was leading the sessions today so I didnt have time. Now I am going to pass out early to get some decent sleep.  Sorry for the boring post tonight, I will make it up to you all tomorrow :)
