We met with our new OT today. She's really nice. I just want someone to be able to answer how do we get Kristen to Chew??!! I've tried everything under the sun to get the child to move food around her mouth! It's like pulling teeth...lmao. But really. She can only eat foods that will disolve in her mouth, or she can swallow whole, like rice. She doesn't even bite peices of things off! I have to break it up for her, otherwise she'll put the whole thing in her mouth even though it won't fit! It's one extreme to the next. We had such an oral aversion that she gagged on apple sauce, and now we can't get her to realize not to put so much into her mouth that she'll choke!
And to boot, our IDP consultant was supposed to be here at the same time as OT, and no-showed! It's not like it's the first time she's done it either! I feel like such an ass when I've told people that she's coming and she doesn't. I keep my days based around when therapists are coming to the house! Good thing it wasn't a complete waste of waiting and I had someone else here as well!
Friday we have more mapping for Kristen's CI! I get excited when we go because she can change so much from the littlest of tweeking! I also have some other concerns about the CI team. They are so inconsitant when it comes to what they are telling all of these families. I don't like to be the sqeeky wheel, but I may have to say something. But at the same time, I don't want to pi$$ anyone off. They do care for my child and her well being with her hearing. Argh! They joy's of being at stay at home mom! I look for trouble to cause! I need a job...lol
