Is It Friday Already?

I think LJ is really able to see things so much better. He is just such a different baby!He is making tiny bits of progress eating rice cereal from a spoon. But he still prefers to eat from our fingers. We have lots more work cut out for us but I ran into a very supportive mom at the gtube clinic who gave me lots of helpful information. Her son, 2 years old, was there to get his gtube taken out- he'd learned to eat orally in March and hasn't used it since! I'm going to call one of the feeding specialists that she said worked miracles for them. Of course, she's so good she doesn't take insurance so we'll see whether she'll even have time to take our case. Encouraging news though. Let's take a look at our week....

Number of visits from the Physical Therapist- 1
Number of times Lew smiled- 46
Number of times he had Aquatic Therapy- 1
Number of visits to the Gtube Clinic- 1
Number of visits from the Occupational Therapist- 2
Number of ounces gained since last week's visit- 9
Number of times Noodles reached for my hands to pull himself up- 8
Number of times he tasted avocado- 5
Number of times he wore his new hand splints- 4
Number of visits from the Speech Therapist- 1

When does the fun ever stop?
