At least it was her HOME crib!
Talitha's appetite is improving ever so slightly. She still has a trigger-happy gag reflex but at least not the obvious nausea.
We've been told that it can take a hundred days or more for the taste buds to return to normal--and not have a sort of metallic taste--after the kind of chemo therapy Tali's had. It's possible since she's so young that her lack of experience with a wide variety of different foods means she doesn't have a basis for comparison between what the food tastes like now versus what that same food used to taste like.
I just hope that her growing database of food reference points doesn't have permanent metallic tainting.
I'm grateful Tali's body seems to be strengthening and hope to soon begin seeing re-growth of her hair and eyelashes.
But with or without hair, she's sooo beautiful to us and we're grateful to have her with us.
