In reply to lvazquez:
It's been awhile for us, so I thought I'd update here. Let's see, we still have speech-feeding therapy on T's ISP, but we haven't used the service for over a year now. We parted ways with the one SLP. It was great in the beginning, but as the months went on, it also just took a nose dive. Because I make it easy, there was very little effort on the therapist's end. We stopped planning together for whatever reason and it was just expected that I prep something each week. Some weeks, I'd ask her to come up with something or bring something (other than the Granny's Candies game) from the therapy office game closet. She'd show up with just a timesheet for me to sign and a tablet that T wasn't allowed to touch. I could have kept going this way, but why should someone get paid when T and I are doing all of the work? Yes, she was facilitating I guess, but it wasn't truly necessary. Since then, I have not made too many boxes of back up mac n' cheese. T is eating the same meal as everyone else at the dinner table. He likes broccoli plain. He eats cereal with milk in the SAME bowl! He used to insist on dry cereal and separate cup of milk:) He loves a bagel and cream cheese (top half only). Pancakes with syrup are back on the menu again and he's recently asked for scrambled eggs. ANW is back on for another season, so he's there watching his favorite show sipping away on a mini bottle of Pom. I am loving the willingness to try new foods and hearing his preferences. He has discovered Jersey Mike's. While I'm happy to take him there and rack up Shore Points, I am hoping he'll eventually add a new meat, veggie, or condiment to his sandwich soon. It took many years to get here, but we're here, and I'm so proud of him:)
