The school has been doing food logs for us at breakfast,lunch and snacks
Angel is still losing weight and her clothes are baggy enough she needs a belt where she didnt before--lets put it this way--I can now fit my hand between her pants and her belly
I am trying my best to give it time for everyone to be educated but I find my patience wearing thin when they send a food log like this home
Breakfast a bite of apple 2 sips of juice 90% on her own 10% prompting
Lunch three small bites of peaches really didnt want anything from her tray or home (of course if you ask Angel if she WANTS it she will say no) did not want any carnation instant breakfast today 90% on her own 10 % prompting
Snack few sips of juice and 1/2 a cracker 100% on her own
I have tried my best to go at one meal or the other to educate them on how to assist Angel to self feed with prompting and keeping her focused
I want to call a meeting--do you think I should wait a few more days or get on with it?
Oh--I will start giving Angel breakfast before school now so at least I know she has that meal

The ped is setting up a date for us to visit a feeding clinic(myself,Angel and her speech therapist)we are going for tips/advice on self feeding skills(Becky--I will email you with any info we get)and we could use this info to educate the people involved with feeding Angel at school!Will keep you updated on the date as soon as the ped lets us know
