the swallow consult is where you sit with a therapist...dont know her exact title but that what I'm calling her.  She took an indepth medical history, list of foods she ate and how much, talk about fears and any quirks.  And then she watch her how she eats certain textures.  And then they usually do a barium swallow test but the therapist said she sees nothing physically wrong with how she eats and that the upper GI report was normal.  So she is recommending that we dont do the barium swallow.  I'm ok with that but I'm waiting to hear from the pedi too.

She did mention Michelle's dark circles under her eyes.  She ask if she sleeps ok and if she snores.  She always snores off and on...even more so as a baby.  She said to talk to the pedi about her tonsils and adnoids....they might be larger than normal which can cause her to snore and to be a picky eater and eat a lot less....she also notice shes a very careful eater with tiny bites and chews several times before swallowing

well it seems like it went pretty well. Cooper had his adnoids removed back in April when he had ear tubes and I have seen a difference in his eating habits since then. He use to freak out at mealtime I mean throw a complete tantrum somtimes, he has done better since then. The BIG thing I noticed after having them removed was his runny nose. I swear the kid kept a runny nose from the time he was about a year up until his adnoids were removed (2 years and 4 months) Since April I have not wiped his nose but maybe 5 times. The ENT said I would probably see a difference and I have. Is Michelle feeling better now. TMI how's the bowel movements? We ended up giving Cooper a laxative ( I think that's what it was I get them confused LOL it was a bulb looking thing with liquid in it) It worked wonders, he was in a lot of pain about 5mins later b/c of something he needed to get out but immediately after that he was sooo much happier!!!!!!!!! I guess being constipated really hurts him. I have laid off the carnation instant breakfast powders in his milk and that has seemed to help plus miralax every other day.

her BMs are still very soft and very explosive....think back as newborns and the diaper blowouts.  Same idea....so I'm having to put a diaper on her instead of pullups.  She's only potty trained for pee.  So the pedi told us to lay off milk & dairy and no miralax until things settle down.  So we are now on the opposite side of the issue lol  funny but not funny....actually I'm gettting worn out with frustration.

Poor thing (you and her). Here's to hoping she gets over it quick! Is it bad that I really am having a beer on my back porch while DS is asleep and it's only 3:30.

I would so love a beer right now but I have a sleep study tonight.  Trying to figure out why I sleep so crappy.  It might be sleep apnea.  Oh the joys of growing old lol
