Speech Therapy

Okay, I should probably call it "Feeding Therapy" right now. Paisley was so tired after taking her medicine she did not cooperate much. Her eyes were heavy as she took her bottle, and when Emily (the speech pathologist) tried spoon feeding her, it was like feeding a lifeless doll. She was out. But she got the idea of it and hinted a few things to work with her during feedings. She will be doing 30 minutes once a week. I'm hoping to schedule speech on the same day with either PT or OT. Emily did suggest a barium swallow study to make sure when she's choking or gagging during feeding that she is not aspirating, which I have been thinking about anyways. That is scheduled for Feb 2nd. I really like Emily, she is young and really sweet. Paisley gave her the cold shoulder today, but I think it was just the time of the morning. I also liked the Blount Memorial Pediatric Rehab at Springbrook. Thumbs up, so far!
