Day #33....Preparing to Go Home!

This morning we were late getting started and arrived at the clinic at 9:30am. Slow moving these last few days waiting for this week to be over. It has been a long and tiresome road to get to this point...Reese is feeling it the most. I think she is so tired and ready for this part to be over. When she is placed in the high chair, her cry even seems effortless. She opens her mouth every time but swallows only sometimes. I think Reese has reached her level of accomplishment in the feeding dept for now.

I spoke with Pam, the family counselor today and made Reese's follow-up appointments. We will be coming for out patient every two weeks. Reese will also have OT during each visit. We also will be a test family for E Feed. This is something the clinic is working with families that live a distance away. We will feed our daughter from home and the clinic will watch us live. This will happen in Dec.
As we prepare to go home in two days and bring this program with us. We have allot of work to still do in order to help our daughter to eat. This experience has helped us in so many ways. It has helped us to know we do not stand alone when it comes to having a child with feeding issues. We were fortunate to have met some really great people through this program. We will be leaving soon but will always remember our friends at St Josephs!
