Adjusting to Grandma. Overall, Joy has been doing very well with Grandma. She has been eating with her though her sleep has been a bit off (it could be due to teething). We are also trying new types of foods with her, including pumpkin and banana squash puree, chicken liver (yuck!), and green beans. We're just thankful that we have another set of hands! Thanks Mom!

Weight Loss. We took Joy to the doctor today and unfortunately she lost some weight since her last visit. Thankfully it wasn't a lot. The plan moving forward is to stop doing weight checks until she reaches 1 year of age and possibly start giving her vitamins (she's on the low side for Vitamin D).
Battling with Insurance. It has been discouraging dealing with my insurance company. When Joy first started traditional feeding therapy (speech and OT), I was disappointed to hear that Aetna was only willing to cover 2 months of therapy. When we considered enrolling her into the Spectrum program, I wrote a lengthy letter asking them to consider covering the program because there were no other suitable programs for her. My reasoning was that it could save everyone (especially their company) a lot of time and money if Joy could just learn to eat. After some back and forth, they agreed to cover a portion of it but were unwilling to say how much. I submitted the paperwork after Joy was discharged from the program but have since received 2 denials of coverage. I call them several times a week and speak to different departments. I'm hoping to get some resolution soon but it doesn't look good at the moment.
Why is the pic of her eating puffs not showing up? so sad! Lol...Rachel best
