Novermber 26

Sorry, it's much harder finding time to write, now that we are home.  I love being at home with our family and back to somewhat of a normal routine.  It's nice to be busy with mom stuff around the house, but tough to find time to write.  It's nice to all be home with no school, work, or sports.  AAHHH!

Chloe and all of us slept great last night.  She only got up twice, had water, and used the restroom.  Then, quickly went back to sleep.  Yeah, it was much needed.  Her back pain is still her biggest complaint from sitting and laying so much.  She is starving, and says she just wants to crunch or sink her teeth into something.  Her mouth still bugs her.  She can't open her mouth all the way, it is still very tender, and swollen.  She is constantly drooling and it annoys her as well.  She doesn't talk much because it is painful.  She holds her head very still, and does not want anyone to touch it.  She still hasn't taken any pain medication.  She takes 3 huge antibiotic pills in the morning and at night.  We also turn her screws behind her ears every morning and night.  She took a warm bath and I brushed out her hair very carefully.

Chloe had two little happy moments and/or today.  I think she kind of smiled (as much as she can).  She watched the Taylor Swift Special - we tivoed it for her.    I wish I could call or contact Taylor Swift or Fergie to tell them Chloe's story.  Maybe they would want to meet Chloe.  She would be so excited and forget her pain for a while. 

The other bit of excitement was a humongous hot air balloon with tons of cookies, muffins and ice cold milk came today from the DeCastros.  Wow - Thank you so much - we blended the snicker doodles, and they are her favorite food so far. 

Thanks Aunt Jenny and Mackenzie for the apple cider and cinnamon sticks - Chloe loves them.

The doorbell just rang, and there were some beautiful flowers - Thank you Delgado Family.  Chloe loves them.  Katie and Tess told Chlo, "Wow you are so lucky!"

Thanks Veronica for the massage chair and heating pads - hopefully, they'll help.  Great idea!

Family is watching Elf.  Thanks for all of the kind cards - you are all so generous and kind.  We once again are blessed. 

Before Chloe went to bed, I asked her if she wanted broth.  She told me no, just give me my 3 pills, and screw me, so I can go to bed.  I almost wet my pants, I laughed so hard.

Keep you posted.  Thanks, again!
