Feb 13 - Day 9/30- She's hungry!

It's always a good sign when your kids are hungry after being sick, right? I made the mistake of letting Jessie go over board and eat a whole Panera sandwich yesterday. Her eyes were so big and it tasted soooo good going down, not so good coming back up hours later. :-(  But she hasn't given up. This morning she texted me to ask for a bowl and some milk. I brought her a soup bowl from Einstein's and the nurse brought her some milk. We have had her favorite cereal (Raisin Bran Crunch) in her room (courtesy of Gram and DaddyTom) since day one waiting for that special moment. When I got here this morning at 10:30ish, she was reading in bed and happy to see the bowl. She poured herself a small amount of cereal with milk and enjoyed every bite. So far, so good. She did say 30 mins after that her stomach is unsettled. Hopefully it will stay down. Stay tuned....
4:30pm- It did stay down. She also had a half of a sandwich for lunch plus an apple and a fruit smoothie (her favorite). She seems to be holding steady. The nurse changed her PICC line dressing today as I watched. Then she brought me a manikin arm and bandages for me to practice on.  The big doc came in today. I mentioned that Jessie would really like to be able to go to her senior beach week if possible. He said the schedule is fairly set in stone and can let us know which two weeks she is scheduled to be off between rounds 2 and 3. We're working it for you Jess!!
