Hungry Boy!

How great to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Since Orion has been eating these last 3 days or so, one can noticeably see the difference in his physical stamina and his coloring is so much better. This afternoon we spent about an hour and a half walking around and also in the cafeteria. While walking by the desert section, Orion stuck his arm out and did a pretty good job of grabbing at a piece of carrot cake. He also asked for a slice of pizza. No way was he going to waste time in a cafeteria just drinking Pedisure. He ate most of the pizza and all of the cake.
He had wanted to go outside for a bit of sunshine (no lack of that here lately!) but by the time we got through, he was pretty tuckered out and wanted a nap. Before he fell asleep, he asked me to order more food since it takes about 45 minutes to come to the room and he thought he might be hungry again by the time he awoke. Wow, if he's eating this good while he's a still a very sick little 73 pound boy, imagine the grocery bills for is folks when he's a teenager!

The attached video was taken last October when Matthew took Orion and me to Cypress Valley zip line tours for Ri's birthday.
