Vital Stim


After Ruby had the flu last month she started having trouble manipulating her food with her tongue like she had before when she was 10 months old .While she had the flu she was not interested in eating her baby food at all ,when she got well and I tried to feed her the food would just fall back out of her mouth and onto the front of her.I took Ruby in to see her speech therapist and she decided that we would try Vital Stim again like we had back in May.Ruby started her Vital Stim therapy last week and today after having just 2 sessions Ruby is able to eat her food again without any falling out!I have been very happy with the therapy that Ruby is receiving.
