We ended up getting the stomach flu horribly over spring break and Lilah stopped eating completely. It felt like we had gone back to the reflux days. There was a lot of puking, a lot of crying and a lot of laundry.
Alec, Dave and I got over the vomiting after 24 hrs but poor Lilah continued to have trouble keeping things down for over a week.
Two weeks after the flu she finally got back to the great eating she was doing. This weekend was by far and away the best yet. She has been eating full meals! Tonight for dinner she ate better then Alec. She even ate cauliflower and lots of it!
The next goal is to work on liquids. Up until this week we could get her to drink about 1/2 oz at a time. Last night she drank 2oz of formula before bed so she has already started to make progress.
She will continue to see a speech therapist every other week to work on it. We are happy with her progress as well as holding our breath hoping it continues.
She has really started to walk this weekend as well. It won't be long before she is keeping up with Alec.
I just recently had an annual meeting with the school district and they have graduated Alec from the early intervention program. They normally recommend preemies stay until two but they think he is doing so well that they were very confident taking him off the program. He continues to do well. He is running and babbling and laughing all the time. Occasionally teething makes him grumpy, but even then it's pretty easy to get a smile out of him.
