Thanks. He’s better now. Just struggles with some textures. For some reason vegetables are hard but now he can eat a few, mostly beans. And he talks fine now. He didn’t speak until he was nearly four . I’ve never had to use thickener for him thankfully but I know about it.AZOldCoot wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:04 pmI'm so sorry he goes through this.Pjmm wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:44 amThey do use thickener with stroke patients who need to relearn swallowing. I’m not a speech therapist but the thickener makes swallowing easier somehow. The kids should be seeing a speech therapist, OT, and Probably has PT also. An ENT probably isn’t a bad idea. My youngest has speech apraxia and until recently would gag on certain foods. Spit them up. I couldn’t get speech to look into because he ate well enough for them. I’m encouraging him to eat vegetables which he can if they’re in soups or dips. Idk why it’s a problem but I guess it’s the speech apraxia.
I've really learned a lot in these replies to me.
The courts ordered that SM could not be around the kids unsupervised

The swallow function starts to leave them, so you mix a pack of thickener in We used nectar thick with my ma, and it's pretty easy. I don't know why this woman just can't take care of the little boy how she's supposed to.Anonymous 3 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 11:48 am

Thank you for asking. It’s a long story but, she’s not stable.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 9:55 amHow is Mom these days Bizz? Stable I hope?
I'm sorry this happened. My ex's exfiance was a nurse. She always thought she knew better then me. She didn't take mybson's asthma serious. He ended up in the hospital. My ex wasn't happy when he had supervised visitation only. He broke it off with her.
