she takes matters into her own hands. I found her “playing” in the toilet this morning and in a moment of clarity asked her if she was thirsty. “UH, HUH” she said to me. Unbelievably gross but apparently effective as I had no choice but to give her some real water. The docs have reduced her water intake because the girl was drinking upwards of 30 oz a day. Silly thing was filling her body with water instead of food so now she has to drink caloric liquids before she can get her precious water. I decided not to be the bad guy this time since it feels oh so wrong to say to your kid, “no honey, no more water today”. So when she asks for water I tell her, “Dr. Boucek says you have to drink some smoothie first” or “Dr. Law says no more water but would you like some juice”. It was cute and pathetic all at once when she’d gaze at me with a look of defeat and say sadly, “k”.
I have exactly one day and 17 hours to keep her fit as a fiddle so she can do her biopsy and stress echo Thursday morning. NO MORE RESCHEDULING! Can you tell I just want the thing done? We’ll go in early Thursday morning for check in and hopefully be home by early evening.
