Mornings are a good time for Deborah; she is at her peak in energy after a long night's sleep and looks her best. As the day progresses, she starts to look more hollow-eyed and pale, even after she takes a nap in the afternoon.


She wants to run and play, but can only do so for a few minutes before she is just wiped out, and then she is tired for the rest of the day. So, we are encouraging more quiet play; coloring, play doh, dollhouse, board games, movies, and computer games are all on the list. Her biggest disappointment is being unable to go out and play in the record breaking snow we have right now; she sits a the window and watches the older kids outside. Hang in there Sweetie, it will snow again after you are feeling better - even if that means next year!


Some encouraging news on the eating side of things; last night she asked for seconds. :) It was not a stellar meal- just beans, chips, and cheese- but she not only cleared her plate but asked for more. Yea! First time since she started getting sick she has done that. We are hoping that means good things. :)
