Turning Point - Sitting Up!
Joy has seemed to settled down quite a bit after being fed through the tube after a
few months. Seems as if her reflux is improving! With a few feeding schedule changes by the feeding team at Children's Hospital, we are able to give her more
time to play and interact. And guess what? She can now sit up! I think this is major turning point and honestly, it felt like it happened overnight. Once she gained
better head and trunk control, she can now sit upright during her tube
feeds. This helps a lot with reflux because the food can stay down in
the stomach.
