Re: Day 8 and she FINALLY ate! I'm soooo excited!!!!

Woohoo!!! I am so happy for you. Is that the first time she's tried to say a

word? I might try hiding a bit of pureed carrot in the popsicle. It's an easy

veggie to digest, and I don't think she'd taste it if it's mixed with other

stuff. I really cannot tell you how happy I am for you. What does your husband

think? I bet he'll fall on the floor when he sees her eat a popsicle. Way to

go, Mom. You just keep it up. She'll recover right before your eyes slowly but

surely, I'm betting.

Day 8 and she FINALLY ate! I'm soooo excited!!!!

Hi all,

I wrote this morning and said that Rylee ate 3 little bites of a

peaches/apples/Welchs Grape Juice popsicle.

Well, she just finished a WHOLE popsicle!!!! And she's at the freezer

right now wanting another one.

I am just so excited. When I wrote you guys on Saturday about her

hunger strike/poop smearing weekend - I had just about had enough.

She is sooooooo stubborn and has severe texture issues. I never

thought in a million years that she would give in and eat the

popsicle.

I sat next to her on the couch and I just started eating it. I kept

saying " Yummy popsicle " ....I put it by her mouth and she took a small

bite and said " Mmmmmm, aah-sis-il " .....I wanted to fall over but I

kept my cool :-)

I can't stop thinking about the endless possibilities of things I can

hide in the popsicles. I'm going to make chicken soup tonight and try

adding a little of that to the next batch of popsicles I make.

Thank you all for your support and advice - you are all a great group

of people!!!

I'll keep you updated on our progress.

..... YES!!! That's just wonderful. Who woulda thunk?

A whole new world of possibilities can open up now... as ANYTHING you can

puree into a sort of " smoothie " , you can freeze into a popsicle. I'm talking

even CHICKEN. Cool, cooked chicken breast will puree up really nicely ... and

doesn't have much taste. After it's cooked and cooled, just slice it very thin

across the grain with a sharp knife... then you can add a very SMALL amount of

this to whatever else you're pureeing to freeze. Butternut squash is another

good thing.

Congrats! I know we'll hear a lot more great news from you.

Hey !

How exciting that she is finally eating. You can probably puree little bits

of the chicken and some broth in with fruit and juice to make the popsicle.

I am in the process of one of my boys doing a hunger strike. No fun. He has

eaten a little, but not today. Well, he does drink the yogurt which is a snack

in itself. But someone suggested to you to mix chicken broth with some juice in

her sippy cup. I took that suggestion yesterday. I put 2/3 cold chicken broth

(fat and all) to 1/3 juice. Both of my boys drank it down. You might be able

to get good stuff in her juice like that.

Congratulations on getting her to eat. Keep us updated.

Wow !! That's fantastic!

I love what Rylee said, " " Mmmmmm, aah-sis-il " . Does she say much or

is this a kind of first for her?

Remember to take it kind of slow in adding new flavours to the

popsicles, so she won't catch on the change in flavour. I think you

are really on to something here. Well cooked pureed carrots or

squash can make an ice cream/popsicle also. Those two veggies would

combine well with apple.

Soon you may be able to puree little bits of meat and add it into the

posicles. Cooked chicken breast purees well and shouldn't be isn't

as noticeable (smell and taste) in a popsicle as pureed chicken leg

or thigh.

Hi Meleah,

It isn't the first time she has tried to say a word, she tries to say

things here and there but she never tries to repeat words. She

usually just walks around the house trying to say her numbers over

and over and over again. I guess you would say 'verbal stimming'.

It's definitely the first time she has looked me in the eye and paid

attention to me. She actually noticed that I was eating the popsicle

and was curious as to why I liked it so much. Normally, she wouldn't

give me the time of day!

So yes, I am very excited to say the least! She had a wonderful night

and we all got kisses from her for the first time in a very long

time. She just seems ALOT happier and that is all I have wanted for a

long time.

I made another batch of popsicles last night and added the carrots

like you suggested. We'll see how that goes today. I also made a big

batch of chicken soup and i'll try putting some in her juice today.

What a difference from when I wrote you all in a panic Saturday -

it's like night and day.

I can't wait for the day to write you guys and tell you that she just

ate a solid food ~~~ I just might pass out so I hope someone is here

to help me :-)

Have a wonderful holiday to all of you!

No worries...we have smelling salts!

Thanks Sheila!!

I just gave her a bath and she didn't even freak out when I washed

her hair!!!!

She usually screams and ducks her head and it's just a big fiasco.

Things are definitely coming around :-)

Have a great holiday,
