Another Round

Just a quick petition for your prayer support for us. Starting today we are going to do another two week round of "therapy" with Mic. We are at home and have support from our dear therapist Lorioux via email. To explain briefly, much of her day to day progress depends heavily on our ability to maintain structure and expectations for Mic as well as attending to a host of details such as motivation, positive meal time experience, trust, hunger, textures, calorie counts etc.
If you could imagine her progress shown on a graph the idea is that the line that represents oral consumption keep stair stepping up, up, and up. We have been flat lining it for awhile now--so we are maintaining what we have gained, but we have stopped gaining. Thus the plan is to follow the technique we learned in therapy, and apply another two week calorie cut, along with high energy meals and strong motivation. We hope this will help to pop us out of where we are at and, with the Lord's help, get us moving forward again.

PS
Notice that in my list of meal time issues, vomit is no longer a day to day problem!!! Both vomit and acid reflux have become only occasional issues!!! Thank you, dear Lord!!!
