I have to tell this story, we have some pretty amazing neighbors, and our neighbors have a pretty amazing mom! We have claimed her as our own! She is our "Grandma Becky"! She doesn't live in the same town as us, so we don't get to see her as often as we would like. But, God placed Grandma Becky in our lives and this last visit, he placed her right where he wanted her!
Just the day before I was so angry trying to fed Price our first attempts at the apple pieces.
Grandma Becky (and our neighbors) brought us dinner....afterwards, I'm very excited and I say to Price, "YAY, lets show them that you can eat apples now"...Well, of course he isn't as excited as I am. I really wanted them to see how dramatic he is when food is near, but as I'm cutting the apples, I hear Grandma Becky talking (whispering) to Price. I'll never know what was said, but he listened and he climbed in the chair with her...they looked at some pictures and she fed him all 9 apple pieces!!!!!!! Amazing!!! We had already left the room, prior to her talking to him, so once we knew she was going to fed him, we stayed gone....Price could see us, and as he is chewing, he is still talking to her and giving us a look like he wants us to rescue him, but he ate them, all!!!! We all cheered SO very loud! He was very happy too! I did hear Grandma Becky tell him how proud she was of him for "climbing that mountain"...
They later left, and she did say she would be back the next day to climb the mountain again.
The next day, they all came over and before leaving Price and Grandma Becky ate more apples!! I'm so excited! There was no fight! No crawling on the floor, crying or hiding in the corner...he just "climbed the mountain" and ate the apples! There are no words.....
So, tonight....I cut the apples, walk in with Price, and he instantly says, "No"...I say....come on baby...lets do this! and he does it! I noticed tonight, that he isn't chewing like its painful anymore; he is just eating the apples!!!!!
We will now do this every day, hopefully we will eat 2 wedges soon!!!!
I want to Thank GOD, for all the wonderful family, friends and therapist he has placed in our lives. Many, Many wonderful people that we will always be grateful for!
