We fly into Oakland tomorrow! We are so glad to be coming home. It has been an amazing trip. We are so gracious to the National Jewish medical team. They did a great job with J.
Our last appointment was with a feeding therapist. J has immature chewing so we have to go back to stage 2 foods consistency and he also has some sort of food trauma due to all the puking. Poor kid, but now with the right tools I know that we will be back on track. During this week, with the help of the doctors, nurses and of course the cafeteria staff, Jack has put on 2 pounds. Yay!
Jack has added a secret weapon to his diet...he now gets 24oz's of Hemp milk daily.
I found it at Whole Foods and I saw that the nutrition that it offers it 4x that of rice milk. National Jewish did a food study with it on Jack, and he passed. He has started sleeping better through the night now, because he is actually feeling full. I would really suggest it to all of you mothers who are not able to give your little one soy or dairy. It beats the pants off of rice milk!
