In early March, after Joy was medically cleared to try eating again, we started taking her to lots of different health care professionals through Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers, Kennedy Krieger Institute and Children's Hospital in DC. Along with her feeding issues, Joy was also developmentally behind because she had very little time to play or interact due to her medical problems, and suffered from physiological symptoms related to her reflux.
At one point, Joy had 9 appointments per week with doctors, occupational therapist, feeding/speech therapist, and of course, an amazing chiropractor (our friend Carrson Morris). We pressed hard for these therapies because our insurance would only cover the first 2 months. To no surprise, Joy rarely complained and got to know her car seat very well! She is such a trooper! Props also go to my wife who drives her to Baltimore, DC, and Vienna throughout the week.
