Thank you to all of you for your Birthday wishes to me today. The best gift has already been given to me, to have my family back together under one roof!! We continue to be blessed with Kade's recovery. He can get from the kitchen to Hanna's room in approximately 5 seconds! If he sees her door open, you can guarentee he is heading that way. The other night she asked how to spell "Kade stay out of my room!" Obviously, everything is pretty much back to normal around here!
Kade is doing well with tastes of food. He continues to accept more into his mouth and has success with swallowing and not vomiting. The only way to make your swallow stronger is to swallow, so that is what we work on. He doesn't fuss as much as he used to when we put him in the highchair, so that is a great sign that he is accepting the "process" of eating. We will be going in for another swallow study next week to see if there are any changes from the inital study done at Children's.
We did finally get approved for Medicade and for the Aged and Disabled Waiver! Medicade will allow us to get the extra feeding and swallowing therapy needed, since we were running out of visits from our primary insurance. LPS will also begin to work with Kade, offering Occupational Therapy along with feeding and swallowing. Thank you to all the Taxpayers, we will not disappoint you :-)
Thanks again to all of you for keeping up with our little miracle!
LPS does a good job. A friend from my work has a Daughter that has cerbral palsy and they have really helped the both of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got the Medicaid Waiver, and its so thrilling and encouraging to see how far Kade has come. I just know that he and your family have good things ahead. Feeding issues are extremely frustrating and emotionally draining, and I'm glad you found the support group. I probably should stop being stubborn and go to it myself, but I feel like no one there can really help us with Ellen. Hows that for a bad attitude!!!
