I haven’t written in a long time, which is due to a wide variety of factors, including the fact that Ellie’s given up her nap, which means I’ve lost my regular writing time. But the biggest reason is that I really cannot believe what’s happening. I keep pinching myself. I’ve been taking my glasses off, wiping them, putting them back on and squinting at this situation – trying to tell if I’m seeing it clearly.
It was less than two months ago that I was sitting in a doctor’s office with a cranky Ellie in my lap, enduring an intake interview with Ellie’s third gastroenterologist.
“How often would you say she has abdominal pain?” the GI asked me.
“All the time,” I answered. “Every day. All day. All night. She tells me she has tummy aches all the time.”
I know I said that, but I can’t believe it. Because Ellie’s all better.
