Re: Thanks for support for Tia Christmas Eve

Hi and Tia,

So so glad to hear Tia is feeling much better. That's fantastic news.

In regards to tacos getting stuck. It is still very early days yet, so

don't be too shattered. Also some days are better than others, in terms of

what you can handle. Being under the weather with a tummy bug certainly

wouldn't have helped things. I am sure she will get to enjoy her favourite

foods yet again. Don't force it, just give it a little more time.

All the best for 2007.

Warmest wishes

Kim

Hi , I am glad that Tia is feeling better. I was sad when I read that she had a hard time. I hope she continues to feel better.

Oh bless her heart-I hate to hear she was so upset and crying on

Christmas Eve.I know about the emotions and feelings about the food

issues since surgery. told me the other night he has been

having some issue with food sticking and not going down all that

well and he was also very emotional.I just wish it will all hurry

and pass behind our lil ones,how much can they take?????

If she ever wants to talk would be more than happy to talk

with her.I know hes 13 and older but hes still a kid and it may do

her some good to have someone to talk to that knows what shes going

through.Maybe help them both.If she wants to just let me know.I hope

she continues to do much better in the new year!!!!Tonia

Things mellowed out for Tia and she didn't get any worse. She didn't

feel well that night or the next day but it was bearable. No

vomitting. I definitely was ready to call the doctor if she would

have gotten any worse.

This is the first time since surgery that she has had that

disappointment. She had a good cry and then was OK. We went right to

opening presents after dinner so she was distracted by her presents.
