Update

From the adoptive mom of my little girl:
We have to get up 30 minutes early as the psychiatrist wants her to “eat” breakfast....so we get up at 6:20 and she “tastes” cereal or yogurt. She’s doing really really well....eating 2 pieces of Gerber puff cereal at a time!!!!! And gets fruit loops really soggy and eats one of those at a time. Plus she’s supposed to be trying a different drink every day......She’s liking the yogurt and I got a ton of Gerber snacks to try...they’re pretty mild tasting.

McKenna's First Breakthrough!!!!!


From the adoptive mom of my little girl re: today's dr. visit:
"It went really, really well! They spent the first 45 minutes in her office, then called me in so I could see McKenna eat 2 pieces of cereal and drink some tea! I cried. So happy. We have been trying a different liquid every day.....ie apple juice, capri sun, choc milk, flat sprite, anything she wants to try plus different broths.....still likes chicken noodle best. She MIGHT have somewhat gotten over her fear of swallowing and hopefully she ‘s on the right track now....she wanted some goldfish for dinner and I already packed her lunch for tomorrow with the cereal she actually swallowed...it’s gerber graduates puffed apple/strawberry cereal. She asked me tonight when we said her prayers why I cried at the doctor’s office. I told her I was just so proud of how hard she is working. Larry has always told her she could have a new bedroom set when she starts eating...she’s so happy with her “new” bedroom that now she wants a “big screen tv” instead.....probably will happen for Christmas."
