Green Bean Girl

On a whim today I bought some solid food for Ollie. At her last appointment with Dr. E, the nurse asked if we had given her any food. That got me thinking....guess we could try some. Ollie has been eating applesauce and enzymes before every meal since she was 5 weeks old so we knew she would know how to eat it. We just had no idea if she would like it. Her first taste of real food (besides applesauce) was green beans. She loved it! This is what she looked like when she was done. She almost ate the entire jar and then went on to finish an entire 5 oz bottle. Although it's apparent that O likes veggies, we will need to discuss her calorie intake with her CF doctor and her nutritionist. Her next appointment in B'ham is this Friday. When we first learned of Ollie's diagnosis, we learned that she needs more calories than other babies. We were told that adding melted butter to her food is the best way to add some good ol fat to her diet. (If there is a perk to CF, this is it....YUM!) We will just need to learn how much to add and so forth. Hopefully her doctors will be happy with her weight gain and her progress. We also pray that the pseudomonas will be gone and stay gone! I'll keep you posted.
