I am so happy to report that we had an Amera breakthrough that I have been waiting a while for. This happened just last week on March 8th which is also my birthday. I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift.
So most people who follow this blog already know Amera mostly eats when we are sleeping. There have been occasions where she will take a bite or two in front of us but that was very rare. So last week on the 8th I woke up and filled her food bowl (like I always do) and for the very first time she got excited. I have never seen her get excited for her bowl of food before. So I put it down in front of her and went into the kitchen to do some dishes. I of course wasn't expecting anything to happen and my son was in the living room watching tv where Amera was. As I was doing the dishes I heard chewing all of a sudden. I looked over and Amera was eating her food right in front of us. She saw I had seen her and stopped eating for a second. I reassured her it was ok to eat her breakfast cause we weren't going to take it. At this point I wasn't sure if she would continue to eat or stop and go back and lay down in her bed, but to my surprise she continued eating. She had eaten her entire bowl in front of us and then again at night time. It is now March 16th a week later and I am happy to say that she continues to eat in front of us now without any issues.
This was the best birthday I have had in a long time and I'm so lucky and thankful that she is apart of our family.
The picture below I was able to take of her eating her food in front of us for the very first time.
