Day 4 and Moonicorn the Unicorn

I cannot believe that we are still here at Primary Children's. I had really hoped we would get to go home today but Lily is still not eating or drinking well and still won't get up out of bed. I don't want to leave before she is ready, I want her to be well, but I am ready for her to be ready. She is improving each day. Today she played stickers with me for about an hour. Thank you thank you to my angel Aunt Tami who brought the stickers and pink paper last night. It was so sweet and so perfect. It was the first activity she has wanted to do for a long period of time. So she is perking up and the diarrhea and vomiting are gone. We just need to get this girl to drink! If you know Lily, this will be no easy task. She is stubborn and she really only likes water. The bummer is that the doctors don't want her to drink plain water unless she is eating. Lily doesn't eat well on a good day, soooooo, it has been a challenge. I have tried soda, slurpees, chocolate milk, all the no-no's but she hasn't fallen for any of them. I guess we need another day to get her appetite back and then the liquids may seem more appealing. I am so grateful for this awesome facility, though. We are lucky to be in Utah when this happened. PCMC is amazing and the nurses have been wonderful. If we have to stay another day or two I am glad that it is here.

Here is a story Lily had me write on her sticker pages:

It is pony's birthday, not Moonicorn's (her unicorn) birthday, it is her friend's birthday. Thank you Moonicorn birthday. I love ponies. I love pink. Moonicorn loves her friend.
