Hi all. Haven't posted in a while but I wanted to pop in and say "Hi!" Things are pretty much status quo here. Katie still has reflux (no surprise!) but it has gotten sooo much better since she started solid foods. Thankfully she *loves* to eat and it really seems to stay down better. She still blechs out a big puddle of formula on me when she has a straight bottle but the food's staying down great! Also, she is still hypotonic. I was hoping she would just miraculously "catch up" but it hasn't happened. She continues to progress but is not at age level. She is primarily affected in the trunk and shoulders. We're working on rolling, sitting, and creeping right now. My PT, neuorologist and ped all seem to think that she'll catch up, so I'm still hopeful. Only time will tell. She's cute as a button though, and we have lots of fun with her. I've been off for summer and have *loved* spending so much time with her. I'm really sad about having to go back full time in 3 weeks.

Well, I hope you are all well! Take care! Julie

I'm glad to hear that Katie is doing so well, Julie! All of the therapies and appointments on top of the GERD are so exhausting though, aren't they?! :hug:

Congratulations on the solids success! It is so great to hear that she loves to eat!

I do hope that they are right and she will catch up in the development department, but it does take so much time for that to happen. {{{hugs}}}

It is great that you had time off to enjoy her and I would imagine that you are very sad for having to go back to work. She is enriched by having had all that special time with Mommy though.:wink:

Don't be a stranger and drop in when you can to let us know how things are going.
