"BEEF!"

This was Nick's response to Mommy one night, when asked what he would like for a snack before bedtime.

Nick's appetite was huge while recovering from a bout of nasty diarrhea from the bug clostridium difficile. His appetite was almost bigger than his gut could handle. It was clear that he was trying to replenish his reserves in every way he could.

He wanted beef, and he got beef.

And Mom happily watched him devour it.
