Ears, Eyes, Mouth

Last set of ear tubes have come out. Ear drums looking thick–could be fluid again, which could mean another set of ear tubes placed. Damn. Thought the cleft palate repair was supposed to help with fluid drainage. Will check on those ears again in a month.

Supposed to patch the left eye everyday for an HOUR or TWO. Really? What two year old keeps an eye patch on. We are lucky to get more than five minutes.

What I am looking for in August’s next feeding therapist/therapy/clinic:
-compassionate (no force feeding)
-enouraging, positive
-family involvement and teaching
-goal=tube removal
-peers (watching other kids eat)
-intensive sessions every day
-supportive team of professionals
-involving play, music, movement (like a typical toddler’s day)
