Another Day Another Soup

Day 10

No new foods today - just same old same old. I put a roast in the crock pot for dinner, and hopefully lots of leftovers for tomorrow.

We've held steady with diet and probiotics the last couple of days because tomorrow is likely to be interesting. The boys are getting their teeth fitted with ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functional) appliances. It's been pretty obvious for awhile that the boys were going to need to get their teeth straightened, but I really dreaded traditional braces - and I didn't think D could handle getting the impressions made. Lightwire was recommended by our osteopath, and since D has made great progress in self-control and tolerance of situations he doesn't like we went forward. Both boys had CT scans done so the orthodontist could see just how the bones of their skulls fit together and design the appliance appropriately. If you do a search on Advanced Lightwire Appliance you can get lots of information about the philosophy behind them and their advantages to traditional braces. We're hopeful that getting their jaws better aligned will help both their speech and their digestion.
