He has had the issues since day one. He was born at 31 weeks weighing only 1 pound 14 ounces. Even getting him to drink a bottle was a struggle. He has been in therapy most of his life for this issue. We started out with ECI then decided to go to Our Children’s House at Baylor in Frisco up to 4 days a week with not much progress in a year. We decided to take a more drastic approach and put him in the 30 day inpatient treatment program that Our Children’s House of Baylor offers in Dallas. That was huge mistake!!! They seemed to think it was a behavior problem and going into the program his therapist from Frisco along with myself and husband made it very clear that he did not have a behavior problem. I would talk to them daily about this and then they were not even feeding him as much as I was feeding him at home. He even lost weight while there. They would try to push him to eat cookies and I thought that was ridiculous and made sure they never did that again. He was in the program for 10 days when we decided to pull him out. For us the program was like a step back not a step forward. They are extremely unsanitary. When you first start the program they do not want the parents there during the day. I would come back right before he was done with this last feeding of the day to stay the night with him and his hands were filthy. It was not from food it was from dirt and activates like finger painting they had done with him that day. They never washed nor at least sanitized the children’s hands before feeding them. Needless to say by the time we pulled him out every single child that was in the program was very sick and was getting breathing treatments. My child was so sick they quarantined him. My child could not breathe one night and I asked the nurses for a breathing treatment and one nurse said he does not sound that bad and would not do anything. If he would have been at home I would have given him a breathing treatment and if he still sounded like that after the treatment he would have been in the emergency room. Once they realized we were about to walk out and take him home they called the respiratory therapist and said he does sound bad. They then said they would be back in 4 hours for another treatment. After 6 hours and them not showing up at 2:00 AM to give him one, I again had to demand he get one. The program might work for a child that has a behavior problem but outpatient therapy would also work. I would not recommend this place. Do not waste your time, sanity, health or money.
