We got the news yesterday that she could have GUM! Woohoo! She chose juicy fruit which our comedian/doctor-on-call noted only has to be chewed for a short time before its neither juicy nor fruity. True words but still great news to a girl who's only had ice chips in her mouth for 4 days straight.
Today!! She got even better news: clear liquids. She's having a little chicken broth and 7up now and will enjoy a clear, sugarless Popsicle later! Such joy! Our verse for the day is already so perfect: He will turn our desert (where there's no food) into dessert (actually it says "Eden"--think Willy Wonka's Dessert Garden -the older 80s version not the Johnny Depp version)
So now we wait and see how this affects her insides and pray for continued progress towards her ultimate goal: Freddy's frozen custard, complete with a hot dog and cheese fries. (That's my girl.)
