Now we think all kids should have them (Just kidding) But he is doing great now and we know it is what is best for him and really no problem, just benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-57767510622418484422014-07-04T01:31:02.152-07:002014-07-04T01:31:02.152-07:00That must be so hard for you and Ramya to have to ...That must be so hard for you and Ramya to have to deal with on a daily basis. Maybe getting her on a schedule might help? She might find comfort in the consistency of having the same thing to eat on a weekly basis (i.e. Monday is chicken nugget day, Tuesday is turkey sandwich day...). That might be similar to how they did it in the orphanage, and it might be less overwhelming (and more familiar to her) if she knew exactly what was coming everyday. <br /><br />Seeing an attachment specialist also sounds like a great idea for her. There definitely seems to be a connection between food and attention. It's so sad to think that in the orphanage no one cared about how she ate, and she probably ate alone. Now she has a great mama who will sit with her for as long as she is eating, it would be hard for any little girl from that situation to give that up. <br /><br />You seem to be doing everything right, maybe my suggestions can help, or lead you to something else that might. <br /><br />Your supporter:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-11538654765468747162014-07-03T09:50:43.337-07:002014-07-03T09:50:43.337-07:00Laser detachments of frenula feel like a dull ache...Laser detachments of frenula feel like a dull ache(without medication) for about a week,in my experience. Smiling is awkward, but I wouldn't expect there to be true pain.<br /><br />The smell of burning flesh during the procedure can be disconcerting. It wigged me out.<br /><br />Hopefully Ramya will start eating to make mommy and daddy very happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
