Feeling Better
Ruby and my other kids are feeling much better today!Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts!Since Ruby was feeling better I took her for her PT therapy today.She did great she is just getting stronger and stronger :)
While I was there I saw Ruby's ST and she told me she got the o.k. from Ruby's pediatrician for her to receive Vital Stim therapy,which we will start next Thursday, for her eating issues.The ST thinks Ruby may only need a couple of sessions to improve her swallowing of the baby food.I will let you know how that goes.
I'm so happy everyone is feeling better because that means I wont have to miss our annual homeschool bookfair tomorrow.My husband is taking the day off from work to go with me and my 4 teens and 2 pre-teens and my mom-in-law will be watching the 4 youngest children.I will be attending the seminar for parents of special needs children and am curious to see what I might learn there.I love,love,love books so going to a bookfair is huge fun for me:) My kids usually play chess all day with all the other kids over at the chess tables.Championship Chess sells some awesome teaching sets there!

Z-Vibe
I was having trouble getting Ruby to open her mouth to eat her baby food ,so I asked her Speech Therapist for help and she got Ruby to eat using a Z-Vibe spoon.The Z-Vibe vibrates and Ruby loves the way it feels on her mouth.She tries to grab the spoon from me to put it in her mouth! I ordered her spoon from http://www.superduperinc.com/ because they have free shipping but I wish I had ordered straight from the company that makes the Z-Vibe because they had more options to choose from http://arktherapeutic.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=ATSI&Category_Code=Z-Vibes-Tips-Kits. The therapist told me to get the spoon attachments that have the little bumps on the bottom of the spoon.This tool wasn't cheap but it seems to be helping Ruby so it was worth it! I will also be able to use the stimulator attachment for Ruby's therapy.
P.S.
As you can see in the pictures Ruby's sunburn has healed.Thank you for all the nice comments!
