Have not been able to check this board much — maybe a couple of times, and for short periods, so i am sure i missed a ton of stuff. I am going to try and go through it in the following days but forgive me if i miss something!
Matthew is doing wonderful. His speech has picked up quite a bit, although it is all spanish and nobody here can understand him. We are getting ready to start with his therapies again. Early Intervention has been wonderful and he will be starting preschool in the afternoons (it is going to be difficult with nap time at the beginning) but it is a special ed class that focusses on children with speech disorders… there will be 7 of them and there will be a special ed teacher and an aide and then an OT and SLP will be there too to provide his therapies during the class… we are excited! We also found a private speech therapist that focuses on oral motor to see if we can advance of feeding skills. He will be seeing her 1x a week to start.
We have not used Matthew;s tube in what… maybe 8 months now!! He is drinking his milk and eating his food nicely. All pureed but he is asking for specific foods at times, so we believe the worst is now over!
I am 29 weeks pregnant and getting tired… prob will deliver at the end of October, another boy (I think you guys knew?). Have a full plan with the GI to take care of this little one from day one… so hopefully if there are any GI problems, we will catch them on time.
I will try to catch up with some posts in the next few days!!
