Haley’s Giggle

This is what the well-meaning nutritionist asked us when she saw Haley. This was Haley’s first nutritionist visit (we tried to get an earlier appointment, but this was all they had). We went through her entire eating history, and tried to map out where and when her eating problem started. It was a long conversation. And in the end, she suggested a “monkey-see, monkey-do” approach; that perhaps Haley’s problem is behavioral and all she needs is a good role model. The problem with that argument is everyone’s always eating in front of her, trying to entice her. The nutritionist also thought that we weren’t trying enough kinds of foods. She suggested cheese. If i tell you we’ve tried every single food there could possibly be (except for bacon and such, for obvious reasons), I would not be exaggerating.

We’ve lowered the Tacro level once again, and watching for exploding situationon her skin. So far today it seems a bit worse than yesterday, before we lowered the Tacro, but I will be patient.

We send love, as always, to Dave in New York and Josh In New Zealand, and hope their days are getting easier.

Oh, for those who wanted to keep tabs on the basketball tournament situation, Haley was upset about georgetown losing, but is loving the underdog #10 seed Davidson, hoping they knock off Kansas to go into the Final four (even though we have Kansas in our final four– gotta root for that underdog!). We also predcited Wisconsin to choke. One of us, and I won’t say who because I don’t want to hurt her feelings, isn’t faring so well in her bracket. One of us is happy she picked some good upsets. So in the end, we’ll even out. In any event, the tournament’s the best it’s ever been, and this year, we’re even going to remember it!
