Emily's Story

This is the story of our baby, Emily, and how she is coping with Failure-To-Thrive issues.

Name:

My name is Fran, and I am a Mom and homeschooler to three wonderful children. I enjoy spending time with them and my loving husband and spoiled rotten Samoyed pup. I am also a post-graduate student working on Doctorate in Education. I am passionate about Early Intervention Services for special needs children. Early Intervention works!

What a difference a few months makes!

Wow. All I can say is WOW!

Emily has come light-years in just a few months. She is on regular whole milk, and she basically eats a normal diet. She is growing well, and she is just amazing me!

As for her tummy, we have had just 2 episodes in the last 2 months. Both were corn/soy related. I'll take that over a daily battle with diarrhea and tummy pain. Emily still needs the Prevacid, so I think she will be on this for quite a while. I am just thrilled with her progress!

It looks like Emily might be speech-delayed like her brother and sister. I am going to bring this up with her pediatrician at her 2 yr check-up next month.
