Sweet...

Elsie got another card today.
It was another one from Emmy.
Emmy sent her a cute little bathrobe card telling her that she was proud of her for taking a bath the other day...it was so cute!
But you know what Elsie's favorite part was....
The picture Emmy included.
It is Elsie and her Emmy.
Love it.
She stared at it for minutes...she even has the same picture in a frame by her bed.
She loves her Emmy.
Emmy loves her tons too!
Enough to take time off work next week to come see her...we can't wait!!!
******************************
So this is becoming a blog about Elsie...oh well...
I write about what goes on in our day..and lately our days have been consumed with Elsie.
But good news today.
She has been ROCKIN' it today!!!
She woke up grumpy...
But she wanted breakfast this morning...which she hasn't had for about a week....
Then she kept eating...cereal, pudding, ice cream...I thought she would be sick.
She played really good all day.
Not very much crying.
She is so close to being back to her sweet little self.
I weighed her today.
I knew she had lost weight...her little body is just a tiny skeleton!
The day we did the surgery, she weighed 29 lbs.
Today she is 24 lbs.
FIVE POUNDS!!!
That is a lot!
I think about what a difference 5 pounds makes on a adult body...think about it on one that is already too tiny!
So I can't wait to fatten her up now that she is eating real food!

So glad she is rockin' it! i figured she had lost weight too.. but man, 5 pounds is a lot for a little girl to loose...Hopefully she can gain some back quick to she doesn't freeze in this colder weather!

Dear Elsie Rose
It looked like that wonderful smile is almost bacck. I wish I were there to show you how to gain weight. I sure don't have any trouble doing it!! I am so happy you are feeling better. You are very brave for such a tinny little girl! I gave Strip an apple this morning, and told her it was from you.She ate it all so now you have to eat something good for you .
Love you lot Grandma"Ene"
