For the past couple of months Isaiah has been having some feeding struggles. He went down to a small number of foods he thought were acceptable and he began taking the food out (even if he liked it). The feeding struggles were beginning to stress Travis and I out enough that we wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything medically. On September 20th we took Isaiah to see a team of doctors- 4 doctors. We saw a pediatrician, a feeding specialist, a nutritionist, and a behavioral psychologist. The team did a great job getting to us know, but mainly getting to know Isaiah. Everyone(all the doctors) agreed that Isaiah is a very smart boy! We are happy to report that 4 hours and 4 doctors later I think the appointment was more for us than for Isaiah. We ended up feeling like it was a good counseling session for us. It was reassuring to hear there wasn't anything medically wrong and that we were already doing some of the best strategies to help him overcome some of these feeding struggles. It was also reassuring to hear the christian psychologist remind us that God called us to be parents for Isaiah and Isaiah was chosen for us. We are so thankful to be Isaiah's parents!
Since we were at the doctors all morning we had to find LOTS of ways to entertain Isaiah. Isaiah got to eat breakfast at the doctors, which took some time (but I was too busy talking to the team to get pictures). He also enjoyed several toys we brought, toys in the room, stickers the doctors gave him...basically he was an amazing trooper!
