Day 10: Annie is just chomping her way through the day now. She has got a couple weeks and eight pounds to make up for and she's doing a swell job at it. Mostly noodle soup, apples sauce and bread but she also said she craved a green smoothie. Now our green smoothies are pretty hard core (and more muddy-colored than green). They are made with baby kale, spinach, chard, micro-greens, mixed berries and banana blended with water to a liquid texture then some chia seeds are mixed in. I'm fairly certain she is the only one on this floor full of queasy kids who thought that sounded good. However, after her first sip she smiled and said, "tastes like home."
I love that comment "tastes like home"
ReplyDeleteChia seeds? I need to look that one up. How wonderful to hear that she's hungry and avoiding homework! Two very healthy symptoms.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all. I've put you on the upstate Galisano children's hospital prayer list.
