Sickness

We are finally emerging from a week of sickness.  Chloe had the worst of it and is eating normally today for the first time in 6 days.  It is amazing how my perspective has changed in those days.  Last week seeing her eat wasn't anything special.  Today, great joy is found in watching her eat a meal or drink milk.  For Chloe, drinking milk is like getting a piece of chocolate cake.  She LOVES milk.  She has loved it her whole life and is thrilled when she gets it.  I'm talking jump-up-and-down-and-giggle excited about milk!  Over the last 6 days we have had to withhold this thing that she loves.  It was sad then, but today was a wonderful end to that time.  So far she is keeping it down which means she can have more after lunch.  What a happy day for our little girl!
