Yesterday I had a phone call from Nancy at Dr. Burdo-Hartman's office. She is the pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist at the DeVos Children's Hospital Pediatric Feeding Clinic. I had about a 20 minute phone interview and was scheduled for an evaluation appointment on July 3rd. Although it is a month away, it actually is a very good thing because she normally schedules a few months out.
At the appointment she will be evaluated by Dr. Wendy Burdo-Hartman (pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist), Dr. Pasternak (behavioral psychologist), and occupational therapist, and a nutritionist. Together they will determine what needs to be done with Jordan - therapy, additional tests, etc...
This is a very good step in determining what is going on with Jordan from all perspectives. The multidisciplinary approach will hopefully provide a stronger diagnosis and treatment program than having her evaluated by everyone separately (like KOS had done physical and neurological, but MFB is doing oral motor only). Please be in prayer about the evaluation and all Dr.'s participating in it.
