The 4th new anti-convulsant medication was added today. Charlene had only 2 episodes. Thank God for the nurse on duty today who persistently called the speech therapist. For the first time, Charlene tasted food (infant brown rice) through her mouth. The speech therapist said that Charlene could swallow quite well. Praise the Lord! Once again, when we feel down, God will lift our hearts and give us something to rejoice and be glad of.
She said we could train Charlene twice a day for 10 mins each. In the future, we could replace some milk feeds with these cereals. However, she thinks it would be some time before Charlene can be bottle-fed as her latching and sucking and positioning of the tongue needs to be improved.
Lord, we pray towards the day that Charlene can eat all her meals using spoon and that her button can be closed forever.
