No More Vomit?

Well, we are following the BRAT diet on the advise of our wonderful family physician Dr. Alanna Danilkewich (she is great). Guess What! Lena actually kept her breakfast of bananas and rice cereal in her tummy this morning. Yeah! Cross your fingers for us that this is the beginning of the end of our vomit session. Poor girl has not kept in a real meal since Thursday. She started vomiting on Friday morning and has not kept anything down except grape pedialyte and a little milk and cereal on Sunday.
As you can see from the picture she is not herself. She is happy but not bubbly and she is having trouble holding her head up high (a combination of being weak from not eating and CP does funny things when you are sick). I sure hope she is on the mend before we get too weak and loose too much weight. If she is feeling up to it tomorrow we’ll go to Kinsmen for a mild PT and OT session and find out just how much weight she has lost in the last week (almost afraid to ask).

what is the BRAT diet? I am glad it is helping! Less vomitting is always good! We used to call Ellie, affectionately, vomit baby because she was…!
Your babas are so cute! Love the pigtails too.
The BRAT diet is “bananas, rice, apples, toast” it is supposed to be the easiest on an upset tummy. Seems to have worked, we are all better now.
