Well, I had just reported on how well I was doing with food on my last
post. So this post will be telling you that I am now having a hateful
relationship with food.
I should also mention that I had a fever
of 101.5 this past Saturday night, but no other symptoms. My fever broke
Sunday morning, however for the last couple days I have just wanted my
soother and mommy to carry me around. Lucky her! She was always
complaining that I never wanted to cuddle.. well she got her wish this
week! I had a clinical assessment with my speech therapists, I of course
didn't want to eat anything again today. My therapist said that that
they often see kids who are just learning to take food by mouth go
through phases where they are not feeling 100%, start to reject food,
and it takes awhile for them to start accepting it again. So be patient
and keep offering food to me, however read my signs and I need to feel
in control. So mommy was right! The therapists suggested giving me
something called stix or crunchies, apparently kids usually start with
these before mastering cheerios because they dissolve faster, so we'll
try those, because they have different flavours.
I had my second
appointment at Kidsability with my OT and PT. My OT says I am doing
well, I have progressed from raking to pinching and palming lower in my
hand. I can take objects out and put them back in, bang them together
and hold my hands. This is all age appropriate!
My PT has been
working on my transitions (getting into sitting, and from sitting to
standing, and back down again). She has also been helping me correct my
sitting, as I occasionally have a posterior sitting position, so she
occasionally has to use a small wedge under my bum. I have been working
on knee exercises to strengthen my hip extensors and hopefully that will
help me with my four point (on hands and knees) as right now gravity is
working against me!
I have learned to pivot on my right arm while
sitting so right now all I can do is go around in circles, but it makes
me a little happier to be moving a bit!
I had a checkup with my pediatrician this past Monday.
weight: 20.5 lbs
length: 29 inches
My
weight is down to the 50th%, which makes everyone happy, this is where I
should be because of my low muscle tone. She says I am progressing
well, and I am such a cutie!
I have been overly cranky this
week, and the only thing that has made me happy is when I found out that
Katy Perry and Russell Brand are divorcing... meaning Katy Perry can be
mine again!
