I Spoke Too Soon
Right after I posted last week Addison vomited after lunch. It was just one time and it had been 3 weeks since the last time. She had eaten peaches and her feeding therapist said that is a hard food for her to chew. She propably swallowed the pieces whole. If you think about it peaches are slippery and trying to hold them between your molars can be hard for someone who is learning to chew. She has not vomited since then. She is chewing better now but still shoving multiple pieces of food in her mouth at once. We were instructed to season her food with lemon and lime to wake up the senses in her mouth. She shoves food in because she is more aware when she has a mouth full. We followed up with her ENT Tuesday afternoon and everything looks great from her surgery a few weeks ago. We don't have to follow up with her for 6 months. We saw her allergist/immunologist on Thursday for allergy testing. Addison did great, not a single tear was shed. There were kids screaming all around us in the surrounding rooms and Addie just counted along with the nurse. She was tested against 40 things. She only tested positive for Birch and Ash trees. What a relief! And then again we were not given any answers as to why she vomits. It is looking like her stomach just works that slow but I don't understand why the food doesn't just sit there. What makes it come up? Addison will continue to take the daily inhaled steroid to prevent wheezing and follow up with allergist/immunologist in 3 months. We follow up with GI on this coming Tuesday morning. She weighed a whooping 31 pounds on Thursday's appointment and was 35.83 inches tall. From 3 to 31 pounds!!! So proud of her, this is the most she has ever weighed. She is still going to daycare and she loves it. When I pick her up for her appointments on the drive home she asks to go back to school instead of home. This coming week we only have 2 appointments so we will get a little break.Thank you everyone for all your continued support and prayers.
