December 2nd 2010: Slow, But Well

Well. Everything has been really quiet lately, and I must say I am very happy about that. Janessa yesterday had her first session with her occupational therapist to make sure her eating was up to par(This is for when she gets her transplant she'll know how to eat). The OT was very impressed with her oral skills. She was pretty surprised because most kids who don't eat lose the ability to do so, and don't want to. We keep Janessa on a great feeding schedule.

At 10 AM Janessa gets a formula bottle
At 2  PM Janessa gets rice cereal, she loves apple flavored
At 6  PM Janessa gets a fruit or veggies
At 10 PM Janessa gets another bottle.

She does really well with this, of course she gets really small amounts because she can't absorb, but she does love to eat, and we are so happy about this =]. We have a physical therapist coming in tomorrow to evaluate Janessa. She doesn't seem to want to stand on her feet or even attempt to sit up on her own, a common thing most 7 month old babies are doing. So hopefully we can get Janessa working on those things! We have been putting her in her bouncer as well, she seems to like that, and will bounce a little in it.


Other than that, things have been slow, and Janessa has been doing great. Happy & Healthy as can be!
