On Monday we saw Veronika’s dietitian. She has recommended that for 2 months we eliminate wheat, gluten, eggs, dairy, soy and rice milk….in the hope that Veronika will start to eat. So far for the rest of the week, it hasn’t really had any effect on increasing her food intake, but I will continue to persevere and hopefully she will soon start to eat. Then in a couple of months the dietitian has recommended that we redo the allergy tests to see if anything shows up.

Then we went to see Veronika’s Physio. While we were there I got a message to call Hannah from the Mercury, as she had come across Veronika’s face book page. Hannah interviewed our family last November before we went over to Melbourne for Veronika’s heart surgery. Hannah remembered Veronika, and called to ask if she could do a story on Veronika and the Veronika Will Walk Gala events, for the major fundraiser for the hydrotherapy spa. We arranged for  Hannah to come to St Giles Pool where we go for Veronika’s hydrotherapy, so she could talk to us and also take some photos of her in the water. The story will be in the Sunday Tasmanian tomorrow(Easter Sunday).

The last couple of days I have been trying to find dairy free chocolate Easter eggs, that also are soy free……I haven’t managed to find any but today when I went to  Eumarrah, the lady was really help full with other things and gave Veronika some cranberries to try and she loved them, she was signing “more” so I brought some for her, maybe that will do as a Easter egg substitute…..will have to let you know about how that goes….
