Tonight you are thankful that all the kids are finally in one place! Although it is nearly a week late Christmas has officially BEGUN! New Years Eve will be Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Day will be Christmas day. You are not thankful for the truck driver who caused your family’s nightmare, but you are thankful that there were no deaths when three members of your family were hurt in a truck accident three months ago.
You are thankful that your second oldest son is reaching fluid goal even if he is not eating enough. He has lost 10 pounds, but you are thankful for Zofran.

The Zofran, you hope, will help.
