Day #26....Stuggles and Strides


This journey continues to be a long and challenging road each day. Today started a new week and some things still remain the same after five weeks. The most upsetting thing to have to deal with is that our daughter still struggles to eat anything. After trying different foods, textures of food, changing the rules, adjusting medications, one would have given up by now. We are committed to helping our daughter and will do whatever it takes. We are nearing the end of stage one of this journey and realize our family needs to get back together soon.....We will bring this program home and continue to work with Reese everyday!
Although Reese is not meeting her goals (eating 1 ounce of food each meal) with feeding, she continues to grow and get stronger everyday. She weighed 20lbs 13oz as of today. She fluctuates a few ounces up and down and has only lost a total of 3 ounces over the past five weeks. Reese had a terrific therapy session today and stood holding onto a table for 2.5 minutes. This is more then we ever expected and enjoy watching our daughter get stronger everyday!

Keep up the great work! We love you!
