Hailey Update July 15th

Hailey went to the GI/Nutritionist this past week. She is 22 lbs 2 oz. The positive news is she's portioned for her height and weight. However, she didn't gain a ounce this past month. We are increasing her calorie per oz instead of volume and the past couple days have been good. She attends weekly feeding therapy appointments which are going well. She is alittle more open to foods but still doesn't eat much. She ate one chicken nugget that I made at home for dinner on Friday night...ate least she tried it! She is signing a lot of words now. She knows please, thank you, more, all done, up, and is learning the sign, help.

Two weeks ago, she was evaluated for occupational therapy and will begin as soon as a spot is available. This week is the second part of her speech evaluation. She definately needs this also but again we will wait for an opening.

Overall, she is a funny, sweet, strong little girl who seems to amaze us daily. She is our monkey...can't take your eyes off her because she never know where you will find her. She thinks its funny to stand up on her pink quad and push the go button. I will find a picture and post it.
