Boot Camp Day 10: So Far So Good

On Day 10, my weight stayed the same since Monday. So it means 1) I didn't lose weight! and 2) My eating is on the right track! There has already been a 75% reduction in my tube feedings now and pretty soon Kim, my dietician may reduce even more since things are going so well.


I'm actually eating a good chunk of banana now. I like eating the peel just because Mommy said that we're not supposed to and I think it's funny.

Just a video of me eating a banana during snacktime. Probably not too exciting, but I found it amusing at the end.

A large part of feeding therapy is exploration of food through play, so kids can overcome aversions of eating. Sometimes during my appointments, my OTs let me play around with food (i.e. crumble a graham cracker into little bits or use a spoon to mix things around). But if it gets a little too far (like throwing food), then they say to stop doing it (not making a big deal of it), and move on to a new food or activity. My OTs have told Mommy that if a big deal is made, then they say the kid would do it again for attention ( this is so true). Sometimes I get creative with my play and as result, Mommy has a big cleanup time at the end.

I've been able to drink 2 bottles/day of Probugs (my whole milk yogurt smoothie shown in the pic) for 2 days now (that's 10 oz/day!). It doesn't really have bugs in it, just probiotics. Daddy discovered it at Whole Foods and it's a big hit with me because I like that it's called bug milk. Since I'm an animal lover, Mommy and Daddy try to entice me by associating milk with an animal (i.e. cow's milk and bear milk (Pediasure)).

After dinner, I played with my new dinosaur from Auntie Sharon. Mommy came by and I told her the dinosaur was eating dog food (that part not caught on video). Little did she know...
