Today, I took Reese to the clinic and watched her first feeding as I do every morning. This day seemed to be more difficult to watch, knowing yesterday did not go well. Her morning feeding session went as usual. Little acceptance and allot of crying. The feedings for today were 15 dry and 15 dipped in water. Reese doesn't seem interested in the toys much these days. Taking another approach with Reese may soon happen. I spoke with the doctor and discussed different things and patterns that we have been noticing with Reese. Aside from the reflux, Reese has been having difficulty with her bowel movements. Many of us know when we are traveling and away from home, our bodies go through changes and sometimes it takes time to adjust.
I thought it would be best for me to leave for awhile. I headed back to the hotel, did some wash and went for a run. This usually helps clear my head. This time it didn't make much difference. The most difficult part of this whole process, is giving my daughter to someone else to figure out how to help her. Feeding is their specialty, but no one knows Reese like we do. I continue to hear many success stories and have faith that Reese will do better in the days to come.
Reese wishes grandmom a Happy Birthday! We'll be home soon and come see you!
