Heart Report & IFSP Results & Bottle Woes

Well, today was Emma's 2 year heart check up. First, the two heart murmurs were not detected by the EKG or the ECHO. But, he said that there was a "funny" spot where the PDA was on of the shots of the heart. Her right ventricle of the heart was acting "quirky." But, he said, "It was nothing to write home about." He wants to see her again in 3 years. Her heart release for the ENT said "functional murmur." So, at least we aren't looking at having the PDA repaired. Next week I will contact the ENT to schedule her tonsillectomy.

Her IFSP (individualized family service plan) was Thursday. It went fantastic. We got the results we wanted, which are gains. I am very pleased with the amount of services she receives from Sooner Start. Her therapists are excellent at their craft and have turned into great friends of the family.

Well, now that Emma is a big 2 year old..No more BOTTLE. She has been sipping from a straw for a while. Today she had no bottle and by evening she was quite upset. I gave her an AVENT sippy and she drank from it, so I think we made it past Day 1. Now onto Day 2 ( I think this will be the hardest day). She can drink from a straw, but only wants too if there is pop in it. However, by mid afternoon she was taking juice no problem, but at bedtime really wanted her bottle. The sippy seemed to work... Wish us luck! I guess it is official...no more baby at our house. :-(
