Savannah's QUICK Run Down  

Posted by: Anxious

Savannah never rolled over, sat up or even ate baby food on schedule. I was worried about her starting at 6 months old. She was a healthy full term baby. Breastfed until I could no longer bf her due to lack of milk supply when I became pregnant again for the 3rd time. She was fully weaned, much to my displeasure, at 6 months. At her 6 month appointment we really noticed that she wasn't meeting ANY of her milestones. Savannah finally sat on her own at 8 months but still couldn't pull herself to a sitting position. She didn't have much interest in toys etc. At her 9 month check up the Pediatrician referred her to Tennessee Early Intervention. She was evaluated by 2 people and both agreed she qualified for services. She has since been evaluated and began by Physical Therapy, Speech (Feeding) Therapy and Occupational Therapy. She was finally officially diagnosed by the OT this past week with Sensory Modulation Disorder which is a branch of Sensory Integration (Processing) Disorder. She Now is scooting on her bottom and taken interest in the world :) She says Da-Da. She has quit eating baby food and refuses to take anything but a bottle. She has been switched from formula to Pediasure and that is her sole nutrition. She does however LOVE Cheese puffs which is the ONLY food we can get her to eat other than her bottle although we have to watch her very closely because she has difficulty swallowing and still gags and chokes.

She is making improvement and is such a BEAUTIFUL little girl. I love her to pieces.

I look forward to watching Savannah continue to improve and I WILL BE there the day you have a big party to celebrate her proving the dr's wrong on what her limitations might be!! It has been so special to watch her grow since shortly after conception and I look forward to watching her to continue to grow, and the new no name boy too =) I'll just call him boy, how's that? haha. Anyway......just want to say that you are a great person, a Great mother, and an awesome friend! (oh and a Great bow maker too!!!) Even if we are 100's of miles away. I promise you ONE day you will get to hear Patrick say "ummm there's some tall chick with a ton of kids at our door RUN AND HIDE!!!" lmao.

Like Jessica i to really look forward to watching Savannah grow and get past her limitations. And of course "boy" to
