Chunky Monkey

There's good news on the eating front. Clayton seems to be doing much better with his appetite. He's also doing really well taking the cyproheptadine (appetite stimulant). He still gags a little, but he's managing to swallow it now. On most days he's eating three good meals. Sometimes he only eats two, but overall he's doing so much better than before. He's also been more willing to try some new foods at the dinner table. That hasn't happened in a long time. All this eating has been such a relief to me. I've been extremely stressed about it lately.

Clayton had speech therapy this morning. Of course he never says a word for his teacher, but he has been speaking more and more when she's not around. Speech has been a big obstacle for him, but it seems like things are looking up in that department too. I'm definitely proud of all his progress.
