Ugh! So speech therapy is beginning to be a bust after all. To be fair, he is sucking in in this picture, we're really not starving the poor kid. My motherly instincts tell me something is mechanically wrong with his mouth or swallowing process. Before, he would just gag on food so hard that he would throw up; now he just plain refuses to eat. We can get some small amounts of select pureed fruits in him - but not much. Since he has officially lost weight since a month ago (he was sick for a couple weeks with that nasty flu) we are now waiting for referrals from his pediatrician for a gastrointestinal specialist, otolaryngologist, and nutritionist.
Any ideas welcome and appreciated!
