Caden’s New OT and Speech Pathologist

Posted by admin on Thursday Sep 4, 2008 Under Caden

I’ll have to tell you about our fun Labor Day Weekend and Adessa’s first day of dance in a few days here when I can get the pictures up… but first off -

Caden has his new OT and Speech Pathologist.  Becka and Lynette.  Two wonderful woman who were just so excited to start working with Caden. They spent 1 1/2 hours at my house on Wednesday and we went thoroughly over Caden’s feeding issues.  Caden is on another cycle again of not wanting to eat.  2-3 oz’s he’s decided is all he needs. We discussed a lot of what may be the issue behind his refusal, from apettite issues to maybe it’s getting up in his palate. They’ll be coming out every other Wednesday at 2:30 pm to work with him.

In other Caden news he is getting another tooth!  His top front left tooth is coming in and seems to be coming in fine.  With cleft babies you never know if they’ll come in sideways, weird angles, even upside down! But this one seems to be fine, it’s right near the notch in his gumline and he is constantly playing with it with his tongue feeling it.

    Wow! I haven’t peeked in on you in a while and there was A LOT to read about! I’m glad that Caden’s doing pretty well overall and that all of his tests came back well. That’s good stuff. And Yeah for good OT’s and Speech Pathologists right? We’ve loved our OT, who is also named Becca. She’s done a lot to help Samantha learn how to eat. Good luck with everything. :)
