That was a committee vote. More lobbying is being undertaken tomorrow. I went to Hospice Woodside this afternoon and got updates straight from people returning from Tallahassee who were from Kansas.
However, the Schindlers are okay and Bobby is going back to Tallahassee tomorrow to lobby some more.
I don't know who the cranky old men are in Tallahassee.
I thought the Doctors calling in form Chicago were SUPERB!!!!
It carried a lot of authority.
As much as I respect Cheryl Ford I thought her presentation was just okay.
The white haired woman near the end who had the disabled son, she rocked!!!
Parents struggle with toddlers who won't eat -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1357108/posts
Without adequate nutrition in the first two years of life, brain development lags, Arvedson said. To prevent this, kids with feeding problems are fed through tubes into their stomachs. Tube feeding keeps them alive, but it falls short in so many ways. . . .Anyways, happy Tuesday to everyone. The antibiotics I started yesterday are beginning to help. fv, are we passing something around via computer that we're getting sick? You know, some computer virus . . .? I'd read something choc rose said about being sick, and the next day, WHAM! ...weeks of this.The road to eating is a long one. Some children, especially those with neurological problems, will probably never eat by mouth. And even those with simpler problems can be remarkably resistant. There are 8 and 9 year olds still dependent on tube feeding despite an ability to do otherwise. . . .
Step by step, those issues are dealt with. Many babies, including Kendall, are fed all night through a feeding tube so they are never hungry. Eventually, Kendall will have to be weaned from the tube, a difficult process for the parents. Although the child still receives adequate nutrition, she gets very hungry.
