NEGATIVE! We finally connected with Dr. Brown's office today to get the results from his sweat chloride test for Cystic Fibrosis. We expected the test results to be negative, so it was a nice affirmation anyway.
Today we had an appointment with the speech therapist for his feeding evaluation. Although it wasn't a doctor's appointment, Evan was skeptical about the whole thing. He didn't want to relax and sit on the floor and play. We talked with the speech therapist about Evan's eating habits and she gave us some tips to work on to get him eating more. One big thing is that we should stop giving him pureed baby food and stick with the table food. He eats table food and self-feeds himself at daycare, but won't do that for us at home.
We have another appointment with the speech therapist in a month. At that time, she has us coming in around Evan's lunchtime so we can show her how a typical mealtime goes. She also wants us to observe him during lunchtime at daycare so we can see how he does in that setting versus at home. So, today was just one more angle to come at Evan's eating issues.
