Therapeutic

Eating is really hard for Abby.  I liken a day of feeding school for Abby to a day of boot camp for me.  It's not that she is just refusing to eat or is picky.  It takes about 5-6 swallows per toddler spoonful of food.  That's about half the size of a teaspoon.  All of her anatomy in her throat/airway is just a little interesting , which makes swallowing hard.  She's safe and she can do it, but it's not easy. So imagine her delight after a particularly hard day at "work" when she came outside and was greeted by these two friendly faces! Pets on Wheels is a local organization that provides therapy animals to places like nursing homes, hospitals, and RMH!  Abby absolutely loved Lilly, the black dog she's so sweetly posing with.  :)  Lilly was quite a lover too--so cute! Although Abby didn't think as much of Wasabi (named because "She's hot stuff") the tortoise, I thought she was awesome!!  For kids with allergies to do...
