We are nine days out from Bella’s surgery. Somehow they have been very long days, yet have gone by very quickly. While she’s still eating less than a bird, she’s back to her normal self, which is such a giant relief. I have to say, the past week, where we have been pretty much holed up in the house, has been nice in a few ways. We’ve had no schedule to keep. No school, no camp, no swim lessons, no dance classes, nothing. Boy, can I just say I’m a lot less stressed that way, and I’ve gotten a lot done. I love our life and all the things we do, and Bella is a very active child who needs a lot of outlets for her energy, but being hermits and never going anywhere has been a lovely break from it all. Give me three more days and she’ll be driving me bonkers and I’ll be happy to get back to our normal, whatever that may be. Two more days and Bella can move on from her full liquid diet to a soft diet, and she’s VERY excited about that. Overcooked macaroni and cheese will be on the menu all day, every day.
