Day #30....Saying Good Bye To A Good Friend


Friday was no different with feeding. I felt by this point food needed to be incorporated back into Reese's feeding sessions. Although I did get what I wanted with the food. Reese continued to refuse the food by not closing her mouth. She did not close her mouth at all, not even one bite! I felt desperate at this point and thought how could it hurt. Well, the truth was how good would it be if my daughter cried at every meal. This is basically what had happened.
Before Reese's day ended, we had to say good bye to a good friend we met over the course of the last 4 weeks at the clinic. Reese and I were fortunate to have met Melissa and daughter Rachel. We had spent allot of time together over the past few weeks. It is a small world when you leave home to go to a feeding clinic(which most people never have to do in their life) and meet a person who has a mutual friend/cousin that you know. We will surely miss both of you! We wish you much success in feeding and keep believing in yourself! You can do it Rachel!!!!
We left the clinic and headed home for the weekend. It was a long car ride home (3 hours) but I have to say Reese handled it well. She is a really good passenger!!

Here is Reese with her friend Rachel.....

It's so hard to say goodbye to friends. You are lucky to have found someone to connect with.
