Full Freedom

In February 2011 Audrey had her feeding tube removed.  She is allowed to eat regularly now.  This is tricky because her teeth aren't coming in normally because her tongue was preventing them from coming in.  She has teeth on one side of her mouth and her front teeth, but not all of her teeth on the other side.  A therapist is working with her to teach her how to chew and use her tongue.  She is very picky about what she eats.  She mostly mashes her food in her mouth.  She will only eat soft foods.
Audrey's tongue protrudes just alittle, but she can keep it moist on her own.  No more scabs or beeding.
