1-23-11 Update
Paris says her stomach is not been feeling good. She has just got over the flu. But seems to still be throwing up at least once a day. She find the time to play with her friends but is still refusing to eat. She still does not like anything we give her and spends most of her time sitting at the table staring in to space with a mouth full of food. We are thinking about putting her back on the meds that helped her appetite.
