Day 3.... FOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!

They bought her breakfast meal to us on Monday night so we'd be able to feed her when she woke up and not wait for trays to be brought around.
Of course they woke her again early for lab work so she ate just after 6. You know the little cups you get a side of dressing in ???? About 2 oz??? That's what her meal came in. One cup of cheese and another of fruit, then a cup of cream with oil in it. She ate it all down.
About 10a.m. the EEG tech came in and took off the electrodes and I got Naomi in the shower to condition her hair and try to comb out some of the glue. Did you hear the screaming????
Then it was a full day with the therapy dog, the football players and all that!
The day passed pretty quickly and she ate all her meals like a champ!
This child will eat anything put in front of her. For her lunch she had grilled chicken, fruit, vegetable and about a tablespoon of mayo. She's never had mayo before and I wasn't sure she'd eat it so I thought I'd mix it with the chicken. Bill said "just go ahead and see if she'll eat the mayo straight off the spoon". So I did and she ate it UP!!!!!
I think it's her Southern heritage that enabled that!
They had an occupational therapist and a speech therapist come for an evaluation. I guess they weren't aware she already had those services at home. They were all very nice though. The occupational therapist got her out of bed and wanted to see her walk and she went with them and she walked tip toed down the hall and had her legs bent funny, which she usually doesn't' do. I thought maybe it was the slippers or just having been in bed so long. Last night I realised what it was!!! She was constipated! Her last bowel movement was Friday and here it was Tuesday!! She always holds her bowels in the hospital. Poor thing!
