Oh Lee, I'm so sorry to hear about your niece. I hope it's easily treatable and quickly remedied.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thanks Beverly. It's not really easily or quickly treatable. She just got a upper body brace that she has to work up to wearing 24 hours a day, except when she is showering or exercising, and may have for years.

Oh, Lee. That totally sucks. Best of luck to her.

Oh, I'm so sorry. How old is she?

I know you have some strong issues with what foods you can enjoy
On a board with Alibelle, I think I hardly peg the issue meter.
Okay, I'm cracking up hysterically about this, but I'm not so crazy I've taken the issue meter hostage. I mean, I'd eat the lamb dish.
Well, I'd definitely eat the peas and potatoes, and some of the carrots, and I would think strongly about eating the lamb, but the idea of baby lamb just freaks me out. When I had lamb in England it was because they were freaking trying to starve us or something by serving all the weird exotic meats, like squid, all in a row, and I couldn't take yet another meal of steamed broccoli, boiled potatoes, and water. So I told myself the lamb moussaka was beef moussaka, and just ate quickly.

Thanks guys. I feel especially bad for her, because she's already gone through so much medically.
How old is she?
8. (I originally said 7, but she just turned 8). She's going to have to wear the brace until her bones stop growing.

Once her bones stop growing, will it be okay? Or is there a worse next step?

I'm getting the pig!
Bev, I make toasted cheese sandwiches almost the same way you do. The only difference is that after I toast the bread, I place a single cheese slice between the warmed bread slices and then fold a paper towel around it all and smoosh down. No microwave and cheese isn't totally melted, just warmed. I admit, I'm a simple girl.
Lee, I can't even imagine dealing with so many medical issues at *my* age, let alone eight years old. Bless her heart.

I think that is it, though I don't really know.
