Plan of Action sort of

We think that we might have an answer to Peanut's issue. Reflux. So we are coming up with a plan of action in a way.

Step 1: I have started a food journal for Peanut. I am writing down what time she is eating, what she is eating and what the level of coughing was if any and then if she spits up what time and how much (a little, a lot or vomit). So far it has only been a little and usually an 1-2 hours after she eats and it hasn't been after every feeding. We are also trying to spread out her feedings so feed her less more often.

Step 2: I am currently waiting to hear from the Feeding Clinic as they are backed up until mid July but the nurse I spoke to is trying to work something out since Peanut is young.

Step 3: I will contact the Birth to 3 program if it is determined to be a swallowing issue and not a reflux issue. They are due to present their report at the end of the month about her physical development and possible resources available.

Step 4: Stay in touch with our pediatrician who we love by the way. She is great with Peanut and is really awesome about calling and checking in and getting answers for us.

Step 5: Remain calm and trust my instincts. Peanut is doing GREAT. She is gaining weight which is awesome and she is growing developmentally more each day. Someone told me once that it is perfectly normal for adopted kids who spent months in care to be a little behind as much as a few months. We are on top of it and we can see the changes already.

Okay time to feed Peanut so wish us luck :)
