All Tuckered Out


We have had a busy couple of days around here! Tate and I went to Primary Children's Medical Center clinic in Sandy yesterday to meet with a Speech Therapist/ Occupational Therapist to help work with Tate on swallowing (he vomits when he tried to eat textured solid foods). They did a whole feeding evaluation and had him eat all kinds of different foods and textures and tried to see what his limits were. It went really well- alot better than I thought. He gagged a little, but they didn't push him to the point where he vomited. Tate loves it cause the therapist blew bubbles and played with him. They want to see us 2-4 times a month!! YIKES! And then, they referred us to a Gastro/ Intestinal specialist, more with the allergist and we had to make an appointment with his pediatrician. So, lots of doctors for Tater Boy!


So, understandably, Tate was tuckered out last night. He fell asleep on the floor while he was feeding himself his bottle. He is such a sweet little sleeping baby!!

He sure does have a lot of doctor's appointments! At least he is getting some help with his allergies and eating and stuff. He's such a trooper!

Poor Taters! At least we live in a day and time where they know how to work with this stuff though! It makes parenting a little easier!

Poor Tate! And poor mommy. I am sorry you have had to go through so much with Tate. You are the woman for the job though! Keep up the good work and good luck with everything.
