Things Avery has said Lately:

Avery: I wish I didn't have this.
Mom: You wish you didn't have what?
Avery: This!
Mom: Cancer?
Avery: Yes
Mom: I wish you didn't have cancer either, but you are so brave & such a fighter.
Avery: Sadly says, but I can't even run or even do the splits anymore.
Mom: When you feel better we'll both start running.
Mom: How long do you think "this" is going to last?
Avery: 265 days (Me only thinking; it's more then doubled that, but at least she doesn't think it's only for 5 days or even a month)

*Driving up to Primary Children's Hospital Avery says I hate these vacations. (Really so sad she thinks this is a vacation)
*Those steroids really are something else. There are lots of horrible side effects, but here's some things that have changed in regards to her taste buds & appetite.

*How Avery describes cherry sprite: Spicy
*Avery now thinks eggs are: Gross & Nasty (use to love what she would call "eggs with the good stuff")
*Use to love Strawberries, but more loved the sugar she would put on top, Now she says, "Sugar is Nasty". This one still gets me-I never thought I'd hear her say those words.
*Milk-Loves lots of what she calls "Ice cold milk". Before, I had to work hard to get her to drink any milk.
*Craves-Chicken Flauta's, Salad from the Red Barn, Ice cream, Gogurt's, Pizza and for a week always wanted Shane's bread sticks. (yes, Shane is the maker, but I'm glad Greta has taught him to throw in healthy ingredients. He uses wheat flour & flax seed; for the sauce it has spinach & carrots) She loves those bread sticks!
*Dislikes: Right now her sister Kelsi, kids crying or anyone being loud. I recorded one of her "Roid" rages. So glad that she is finally off of those!
*Describes her feet & legs that hurt so bad for her to walk as: Squishy!
