Day #25....Wrapping Up Week #5



Friday was day number two with daddy. This day Reese's rules were Non Contingent Reinforcement + Non-removal of the Spoon. This means Reese would get to play and or watch a movie the entire time during the feeding session. The spoon would not move from her lips until she opened. Reese had her moments throughout the day. Sometimes she did well and other times she did not so well. We'll take the good with the bad for now. Even though Reese has struggled with feeding, she has showed tremendous improvement with her physical therapy. Reese has learned to do So Big, transition from laying to sitting on her own, moves in a complete circle while sitting on the floor,getting stronger with her legs and has begun to babble allot! These mile stones have all happened in the past two weeks. It is so good to here her voice and the sounds she makes are much more clear and long lasting. She has found a language all her own. She has each one of us so amazed with her accomplishments. We cannot pull ourselves away from her. Reese is the glue to our family! This little girl continues to make us proud!




Keep up the good work! You make us proud everyday!!!

Going back to N. Jersey on Monday morning to begin week #6.

Hi Reese & Trish,
It was so good to spend Sunday afternoon with you and the family. You amaze us with all the things you have accomplished in such a short time at the clinic. I know mommy & daddy are so very proud of you and so are we. Keep up the good work and continue to get stronger everyday. We love & miss you and pray for you always.

Love & Kisses,

You really do have a mind of your own, little lady. Stay strong. Let Aunt Sand know what movies you want to watch and they will be on their way. Love hearing your progress, cracking me up with your "stubborness". A good quality to have, shows what a tough cookie you are.

Love You!!!!
