remember earlier today difficult child raging with her shake, punching herself the bed whatever she could get a hold of? i let her go and freak out, didnt' try to stop it. waited till it was over. threw remaining shake in cup and got her outta here to go see secretariat movie she was dying to see. dr. okd it yesterday, it's right down road. i knew she needed a change of scenery. she finished remaining shake there in p lot.
difficult child relates super well to horses. so long story short we are watching movie i tell her hey its' a true story. we talked about the horses strength, resiliency even when he was sick, how he never gave up his determination and most of all his heart. i said your alot like him. she laughed thought it was funny. she actually said but i'm not eating. i said are you kidding me your trying soo hard with-those shakes each day. you have come a long way since the hospital only 4 short days ago.
we left and came home. long story short i felt she was ready for it. i dont' know why, maybe the rage, maybe the movie, I don't know. i made her a scrambled egg and a piece of toast. i was making it, she smelled it and said wow that actually smells good. ididnt' make a big deal about it. i had her set the table nice with-candles etc. for us.
Ok. SHE IS EATING IT RIGHT NOW!!! sitting there crying happy tears, granted she did hold it in her mouth for her while, and is working on swallowing it but i can hear her self talking herself thru it.
this is a huge huge start. i told her if you can pick one food a day that you love i'll make it for you than the other two meals we'll do shakes.
i had to share this since all of you have been on this journey the past few mos with me. now i'm making her a bubble bath and using some cetaphil because the hospital bed rest lock down ruined her skin it's all dry and has sores.
it's so stupid isnt' it how something that you are accustomed to than goes away and it comes back and can just place you in such a happy place. stupid hospital just needed to back up and listen to what i was telling them. stupid doctors
