Ava has been free from illness now since October - Praise God! We feel exceptionally blessed. It took me a while to get rid of my little cold that lingered for about 3 weeks, but Ava never got any sickness from any of us. We went to the Pediatrician 3 weeks ago and he made a few changes with hopes of not needing to see so many doctors in the future. She is now off of Albuterol puffs 2x a day unless it's needed. Ava is also chewing her vitamins as well now. We tried to seek a nutritionist that would help us with her food intake and her Pediasure feeds but we still haven't found one that specializes in kids. She did suggest giving Ava 1/2 cup of ice cream instead of the feed. Ava hasn't lost any weight and she isn't currently receiving any supplemental Pediasure unless she spits up. She still has a hard time chewing and swallowing certain textures. We have gone over a month now without a Speech therapist and not one in sight as we speak. Ava does choose to say quite a bit. Sometimes she is hard to understand, but most of the time she says something that we can. Tonight she wanted to sing her ABC's multiple times. It's amazing that she is trying to sing. I wish I knew what I could teach her but we keep asking her to "use her words" and help her to mimic sounds. She is really great at watching you correctly pronounce a letter and tries to do the same. She truly is God's amazing blessing. I can't wait for spring and to take her on many new adventures.
Thanking God for Ava's amazing life and praying for her to eat and speak well...
