New Plan

Well, after many phone calls yesterday we now have a new plan for Anthony.
Here's a recap of what happened up to this point:  We went to the GI the day after Christmas and he recommended speech therapy.  We waited a few days and hadn't heard anything from speech so I called and they informed me there was a 3 month waiting list.  Anthony started eating even less so we went back to the GI this Thursday and he recommended that we check him into the hospital on Monday so he could see a speech therapist and get an EGD and pH monitor on Tuesday.
Ok, fast forward to yesterday.  I get a call from outpatient speech therapy that they want to schedule him for an evaluation on Tuesday.  (I was super confused at this point - apparently this was not the same person that had previously told me there was a 3 month waiting list).  I explained to her that he was going to be checked in to the hospital on Monday and Tuesday and asked if it would be her office that did an inpatient evaluation.  She said it was and that she wasn't aware that was the plan.  So she called the GI's office and talked to the inpatient coordinator who said that we could skip admitting him and just take him to the speech evaluation on Tuesday.  Since she didn't talk to the doctor and it was obvious that not everyone was communicating clearly I called the doctor's office myself to make sure it was ok to put off the other tests for now.  The nurse called me back after talking to the doctor and said we can just go to the speech appointment on Tuesday and if they see something that they think would require more tests or if things get worse we can admit him on Thursday or the following Tuesday for the tests.  We're definitely grateful that Anthony won't have to go through the trauma of those tests.  Pray that we would get some good information and strategies to try from speech.

Aaaannnnddd, Anthony just finished an entire bottle at noon today!  Don't even know the last time he's done that!  Praise God!
