Belinda and I just met with Dr. Petrosyan and Jill for her two-week follow up appointment and everything is looking good! Dr. Petrosyan released her to eat regular food now, although he did warn her to be very careful with tougher types of food while she’s getting used to how her system works now.

As soon as we were off the video chat, she got the two packets of snacks we’ve saved since the trip to DC – the complimentary bags of snack mix and graham squares from Southwest Airlines! She was so happy to crunch into food and got a big smile when the first pretzel went down easily with water.

Now she wants Chick Fil A for lunch and Olive Garden for dinner! She’s been planning this day for a long time.
