Had feeding therapy again today. Aryssa would not take a nap before we went to session. As I predictied she was a little cranky. Jodi (therapist) did however get her to slurp a little water off the spoon and roll it on her tongue. Then Aryssa had enough and was tugging on her ears which is what she does when she is getting tired. Oh well not every session is going to be a good one. I am just so ready for her to be over this whole tube feeding stuff. Aryssa had pulled her tube out this morning after her 9:30 feeding. I decieded to leave it out and see what will happen. About 10:30 this evening i chickened out and put it back in and tube fed her. I can't let her starve--even though i need her to get hungry so she knows what that feels like again. It is so confuseing and frustrating. I can't wait till all this a distant memory.
However on a good note. Aryssa is officially laughing now. If I make a funny face or tickle her she will laugh. She has been trying to figure it out for over a month now and finally has got it. It is so funny. It makes me feel so good when she shows signs of happiness. She has had a rough life so far and always seemed miserable which made me feel like a bad mother. I will do whatever it takes to keep her smiling and laughing. I am REALLY starting to enjoy this motherhood stuff now, other than the tubefeeding thing. I can't wait till she hits more and more milestones. Well that is all for now. Will keep you posted.
