Welcome! The first 6 posts on this blog are actually e-mails I sent out to friends and family as updates about my 6-year-old daughter's diagnosis with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. They are letters to our biggest supporters and all those people who love our Ellie dearly. If this is your first time here and you want the whole scoop make sure to begin with the post called "First Update: After the Storm." Click Here.

Mommy Guilt Update

At dinner table, just Ellie and I.

Me: Ellie, do you remember last week when we were at the beach and you wouldn't eat your peanut butter and jelly sandwich because your tummy hurt?
Ellie: Yes.
Me: Remember how I was crabby at you because I wanted you to eat?
Ellie: Yes.
Me: Well, I'm sorry baby. I thought you were just worried about your CVS tummy but really you had the flu. I'm sorry I got crabby with you about eating that day, I didn't realize you were really, really sick.

(Long pause, Ellie brain processing)

Ellie: Mommy, if I was still mad at you for that I wouldn't even be your daughter! Don't worry Mom!

Me: (long pause, Mommy brain processing)...BIG HUG..."Thanks honey. I love you past outer space!"
