SHOOTING FOR THE STARS


Priya downed her bottle in 15 minutes during her feeding evaluation today! Her speech therapist was so impressed at how much and how quickly she has made improvement!  GOLD STAR!!!  The therapist explained to me that even though she is 6 1/2 weeks old, biologically she is only 2 1/2 weeks old due to being premature, so some of the problems she has had with feeding are not only due to her large tongue and cleft palate, but also due to her biological age. So, this little girl has had a lot to deal with.  Every few days you can see she is making noticeable improvement, though; I am such a proud momma!!

Also, Priya is going to be a STAR!  She was asked (via her mom) to be in a teaching video for new feeding/speech therapists.   This kid is destined for big things, I tell ya!
