Wysdom had an appointment with our hospital and they watched him eat and then determine if he needs a swallow study. How about making her liquids thick with fruits or veggies? I am sure you tried this. We just went to an evaluation from Talk Tools and we found out tons of info about Wysdom's mouth and eating. That maybe an avenue to look into. They have tools that help with oral motor muscle development I can e mail you more if you want. <br /><br />Oh yes and that vacation thing. Well of course after 5 years you may just want to get away?:) Hugs.Sasha@ Blyssfulhealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645600854443758785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-68111477619494752302010-04-24T07:46:26.932-04:002010-04-24T07:46:26.932-04:00Oh man.

I don't know anything about swallow studies, so I'm no help there. <br />I hope that you get some GI help so you can sort this out.<br />In the meantime, see if Goldie will show you her food in her mouth every so often when she's chewing. You can see if she's actually chewing or if she's just "suckling" it.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092198491274193931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-70592090378302959622010-04-22T15:54:20.125-04:002010-04-22T15:54:20.125-04:00Poor girl!

Sean had a swallow study last summer & they offered barium in different thickness and a barium coated/dipped cracker. They can flavor the barium with chocolate syrup or strawberry syrup, too. I believe our ENT is actually how ordered the test.SunflowerStorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811073595725040739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-39436682208277930222010-04-22T15:41:10.311-04:002010-04-22T15:41:10.311-04:00Poor thing.

Otherwise I am sure your Ped would know where to go.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879135187722664722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-85809321599872866042010-04-22T04:17:40.244-04:002010-04-22T04:17:40.244-04:00Poor little Goldie, that's no fun at all.
