Great Eating


Dearest Gifts~

We had an early morning today .... Joshua, your first appointment was at 9am with Mary Beth.  She wanted to do an occupational therapy re-evaluation to see if you could be discharged.  So, we needed to be there 30 minutes earlier than usual to give her more time.  You also had speech therapy with Kim at 10am, and then a 2pm feeding team appointment with Krista at Rex.  Whew!  

But, little man, you were so congested this morning that you coughed yourself into a 'throw up' fit.  :-P  You threw up in our bedroom this morning all over the floor.  Ugh.  I took your temperature and you had no fever.  I gave you some tylenol and you were playful right after!  So, I still took you to your appointments.  :-P

Mary Beth went over progression and tested your fine motor and gross motor skills.  I also had to fill out an evaluation.  We still have our appointment for next week and she should have your scores and results by then.  Hopefully you'll be discharged soon.  :-)  You did well with Kim too.  She gave us some more flash cards to practice with. You're getting better with your sounds!  :-)

One the way home, we saw a train!  We got caught at the tracks near our house.  It was a short train, but Joshua still enjoyed it!  ;-)

Joshua, you tried a new purée at lunch .... an apple, sweet potato, cinnamon mixture.  You ate about 2 ozs!  Wow!  I'll get more of these over the weekend and see if we can't increase your fruit and veggie intake!  :-)  How exciting!

We had a little bit of playtime after lunch and then we headed to Joshua's feeding team appointment with Krista at Rex.  You two fell asleep in the car on the way there so I felt bad waking you all.  :-P

Joshua, you continued to eat well for us!  You finished the apple/sweet potato mix, had another 3 ozs of yogurt, 5/6 of a hotdog, and 1/4 of a string cheese!  Wow!  Grace, you ate some gold fish crackers.  ;-)

We were home around 3:45pm.  We played until daddy got home.  You two helped me make a potato and veggie mix for my lunches this week for work.  And, you two surprised me .... you two ate some at dinner!  Yippie! 

Daddy played the banjo for you all this evening.  Then we had some art time as we watched a music concert on television.  Everyone got some more Tylenol before bed.

Sleep tight you two!

I love you both so much!
