OCH feeding program

Lyla's been admitted for a Week now at Baylor's Our Children's House in Dallas, 4 more weeks to go in the intense feeding program. Lyla is doing pretty good, taking bites and drinks of nectar thick pedialyte. She gets mashed potatoes & avocado for lunch and dinner, gagging a lot while eating, but tonight she took 7g of avocado. So she's doing pretty good. She has 4 feeding sessions a day, along with OT & Speech sessions during the week. So far we've found out her tongue frenulum, cheeks, & lips are really tight. We've started doing face & mouth stretches/exercises to help. She had a swallow study yesterday, that showed she is at risk of aspirating, and will possibly need vital stim therapy (external electrical stimulation of her throat muscles), while she eats. We have a care conference tomorrow afternoon to talk about what will be best for her.
