Please pray for Mason

Mason has his weekly appt today with his occupational therapist (OT).  She worked with him on foods he "likes".  It didn't go so well.  He is really resisting most things now.  We can usually get baby food in him, if we feed it to him.  There is always french fries and cookies, but a child can't live on those...or cannot live on those and be healthy!

Ellen (OT) noticed that Mason is not chewing properly.  She wants him to see a speech therapist(ST) to ensure there is no physical reason for his eating habits.  Some kids who do not chew properly, choke, and then become afraid to eat.  He is scheduled to see the ST, Ann, on Thursday.

Ellen acknowledged that we have an big issue and it is getting worse.  We will keep everyone posted and hopefully we will know more after the Thu appt.
