VALENTINE CARDS AND CARE PACKAGES
Although Mimi is feeling a bit better today but she still has a little trouble keeping food down. Therefore she's been surviving on Campbell's chicken soup mixed with rice, osembe (rice crackers) and green tea. As you can see in the background of the video, I made a bed out of our sofabed. We basically video marathoned it today. In between the videos we talked about everything under the sun. One of the things she wanted to know about was the beginning of her life and about one minute into the story she asks "are you done yet?" That ended that discussion right then and there. Since Mimi's energy is coming back to almost full force we sat down to get her Valentine treats ready to bring to school tomorrow. All of her classmates get the rice krispy treats and the teacher gets the pink envelope. We also put together a care package for her friend Samantha who is recuperating back home in California. It is filled with all kinds of goodies that always makes Mimi feel good. We hope that Samantha will enjoy the goodies as much as Mimi does.
RECURATING
Last Saturday morning Mimi came down with some kind of virus that has been going around our neighborhood kids. Dad took her up to Snoqualmie for her ski lessons but then had to turn right around and come home again. He said that as soon as he and Mimi got up there Mimi said she did not feel good and laid down right then and there in the parking lot. When he got her back into the car she then proceeded to vomit all over herself and the car. She is feeling a little better today still not able to keep anything down except for the bland food. YUCK! I know that this too shall pass but it is not making life any fun right now. Especially for Mimi, cause it is cutting into all of the foods that she really likes (and we all know how much she loves to eat) such as BBQ chicken, corn dogs, pizza, hang-a- burgers of which now she likes the double cheese hang-a-burgers from McDonald's and these are just to name a few. Yesterday we found out that Mimi's BFF from California fell and broke her leg (spiral fracture of the tibia) and is now kind of laid up for a while. So now both girls are recuperating together. While we are laid up, we are going to work on our Valentine cards and get well cards today.
