I know I said last time that it would be our last visit to the Special Care Clinic, but we ended up going one more time. This time was a little better than the last time we went, but it still takes up most of the day and Kinley screamed the whole time we were there.
Basically we learned that Kinley now weighs 21 lbs (yay!), is still sating 100% (yay!), and we got the go ahead to stop Kinley's thickener (yay!). Before the appointment we had been giving Kinley unthickened whole milk in her sippy cups with meals, but she still got 1 bottle of Pediasure at bedtime that we thickened with half a packet of nectar thickener to 8 oz of the Pediasure, so she was not really on much thickener, but it will be nice to get her totally off thickener now. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful appointment. I just felt bad that Kinley was so stressed out and screamed the whole time. Poor Kinley. She slept pretty well on the way home though.
I guess it is time to start thinking about a front facing car seat for Kinley. We still have her in her rear facing infant car seat because it goes up to 22 lbs., so there wasn't really a reason to switch to a front facing car seat before now. I am sure Kinley would like to finally be able to see where we are going rather than where we have been. She is growing up so fast.

Glad to hear that your Special Care Clinic appointment went well...we go again next week and I am dreading it!
We've already moved Addie out of her infant carrier; we've decided to keep her rear-facing in a convertible-type seat. I posted about my research here: http://teachplayinspire.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/what-i-wish-id-known-then-1-carseats/
So glad Kinley is doing well!
