Day 4 at Graz

Hello,
Today we had our fourth day at the feeding clinic. Still no tube feeds yet and Alex grazes a little throughout the day. She is acting like she still has a ton of energy and has not really let this whole thing slow her down much. We went to a beautiful part of Graz today. We did not bring camera but will go back there and take many pictures. We found an authentic italian restaurant today where we had a great lunch. I think they put a egg in the middle of the pizza, it look kind of strange but it was delicious. We are learning more and more about local customs every day and have found a german translation dictionary which has helped out a lot. She looks forward to the train ride and walking around the city every day. Today we took Ernie and Elmo to play picinic. They have set up Alex alone in a room to start out. It seems like all the other children with there parents has become a little overwhelming for her so they are letting her ease in to the situation. Nothing here is about force eating is up to her and only her. They have a stricter philosophy though with what the child is offered to eat. Again, the believe if she is hungry enough she will find something that she finds agreeable to eat. The city of Graz is famous for is Advent markets during the holiday's. There is a big one on Sunday which we will probably go to. They really do sell chestnuts roasting on an open fire here. In fact we can get them at the train station where we get off the tram to go to the hospital. Will post more pictures. Thank you to everyone for all the words of support and encouragement. Love to all.. Tim, Michele and Tuni
