Alien Abduction or Answered prayer?

August 6, 2008

I recently posted about Breckin’s inability to gain weight over the last year. This is probably aggravated by the fact that he has never really been fond of eating. Since he is so thin, he refusal to eat has often been a point of frustration for me. I have consulted doctors, a dietician, read many books and articles, etc…. I have gone so far as to add extra butter/cheese/heavy cream to everything he eats. While the addition of the calories did actually help at one time, it has always been a struggle to simply get him to eat. Meals have always been the most difficult time of day in our house. Well, I don’t know what has happened the last few days, but Breckin has been eating everything in sight. When he isn’t eating, he is asking for food. Who is this kid? While I am completely thrilled, it is not the Breckin I know. I can only assume that God is answering our desperate pleas or that he was abducted by aliens Sunday night/Monday morning between the hours of 11pm and 7am and replaced by an “eating” version of Breckin.
