Assessment at Children's Hospital International Adoption Clinic

The first Friday after we arrived home I took Jude for her assessment at Children's Hospital International Adoption Clinic.  This is a fantastic option for families bringing home children adopted of the US.  We met with pediatricians, physical therapists, speech therapists, a dietitian, even a psychologist.  Jude is in great shape.

It was so helpful to discuss concerns with multiple experts.  My biggest issues are her diet and sleep habits and the Children's staff gave me some great advice and guidance.  We will receive a complete assessment shortly and be able to use that as the basis for treatment with her regular pediatrician.

Using the hints they were able to provide, I had Jude sleeping in her own bed by that Sunday.  It's been going well and gets better every night.  Big relief for me, as having a pushy baby sharing my sick bed was not a good thing.

Thank you Children's!
