Catch Up

Well I've lagged behind a bit but oh well! The EEG results came back fine! Praise God and thank you for your prayers :)
Robbie has now had 2 physical therapy appointments. Between the 2 he improved :) She gives us a few specific exercises to work on during the week then builds on it the next week. He goes once a week.

His therapist, Kris, is of the opinion that he will come along well with the therapy and that they won't find anything wrong in the MRI or other tests. She does believe that he has sensory feeding issues though. This means that food textures, tastes and smells cause him to gag and / or throw up. This definitely sounds like him. He is scheduled for a swallow test in early January but the speech therapist (with a feeding specialty) wants to evaluate him before then so he is now scheduled to do that in 2 weeks.

We are getting a bit overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all. Robbie's MRI is early Thursday, his regular check up Friday, PT next week, followed by the neurologist follow-up, eye dr follow-up, more PT, feeding evaluation, etc. Oh and the holidays. . . .

On the up side, he is improving in PT and we can get help for his feeding issues. Also, Wednesday is his first birthday!!!!! Yay!!! Much to be thankful for!

Please continue praying, thanks :)

  1. Mandy, you, Chet, and Robbie have been in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you're feeling overwhelmed. If I can watch Robbie so the two of you can go out sometime, please let me know. I'd love to do that.
