Henry went to work with me yesterday. I had a travel playpen set up in my office and worked there while he played. When he fell asleep I worked right outside my office shifting and weeding. I am currently rearranging the three collections in my area (Juvenile and Youth, Curriculum, and State Adopted Textbooks), trying to make it more open and user friendly. Since it is between semesters there isn't much going on in the library and it was a fairly simple matter to have him with me.
Henry is eating better. He is back to letting me feed him with a spoon, though he doesn't eat more than half of what he used to eat. I am giving him hot cereal again, but yesterday I fed him some cottage cheese and today I fed him some yogurt. For now I am sticking to rather bland food like that.
Today we travel to Plano to visit a pediatrician who is accustomed to working with internationaly adopted children. It is a long drive, around 70 miles one way. But I am hoping she will be more thorough and understand the issues that Henry is facing. Then we try to dash back to the library for a meeting with the Early Childhood Intervention people. Tuesday the meeting was just to see if he qualified for their services--he does and I just have to pay twenty dollars a onth. Today they will give tests to more thoroughly decide where he is at socially, intellectually, physically, etc. They are evaluating him at 15 months even though I suspect he is 18 months old because the birth certificate I was gi ven in Vietnam reports him at that age.
