Mikey's Back in School

Today was Mikey's 1st day back to school. He has been attending Waves Early Learning Center. It is a school that children with delays go to. He loves it! Mikey is actually doing really well. We have had to puree all of Mikey's food over the past 3 months because he continues to pocket all his food. However, because he is getting a balanced meal 3 times a day he is actually doing AWESOME in all areas. He finally learned how to jump a couple weeks ago. It is so cute to watch him jump because he is so happy about this accomplishment. The great thing is Mikey does have the ability to learn it just takes him allot longer to learn things that come natural to most kids. His future looks good...if only we can find a miracle cure and figure out how to get the kid to eat. We are on a waiting list to get him into sensory therapy at Vanderbilt Children's hospital but we have no idea when a spot will become available. I am praying that we get a call from them soon. I could use some professional advice.

  4. Yeah for Mikey! Samantha has been making great progress too going to her learning center. She loves it and is talking so much more! Good luck with the food thing...let me know if you find any good tricks! Sam doesn't pocket her food; we just have the hardest time getting her to eat anything!
