This afternoon I met with Nathan's First Steps' coordinator in order to add some things to Nathan's IFSP.
Nathan had lost some weight at his 15 mos check-up causing him to drop on his growth chart. After a consultation with a Dietician/Nutritionist, it was decided that we could benefit from getting help on how to feed Nathan and get him to pack on some pounds :) Nathan has a VERY sensitive gag reflex and struggles with texture. Due to this, we are limited on what we can feed him and want to make sure he is getting what he needs nutritionally. So far, Nathan is handling the changes we are incorporating just fine. We hope we can continue to make progress and eventually wean Nathan from the bottle and start to introduce finger foods.
We also had to add getting Nathan fitted for orthotics. Now that Nathan is spending a lot of time in his stander, we want to make sure his feet are in the proper position for weight-bearing. Nathan is doing great wearing his socks, orthotics and shoes and is such the big boy in his stander.
We are so grateful for all of the support we have to keep Nathan progressing. We have a lot on our plate, but Nathan continues to handle it all just fine.
Nathan all smiles while he works on bearing weight on his legs.
