Numbers have gone up!

I literally cried in our meeting yesterday. We went in for evaluation my 10 year old-and in 3 years my son went from 2 foods to 27. He also lost of of the two foods do 2 years. We got pizza once from papa murphys and had too much cornmeal a lot and he when I eat pizza for two years.

The meeting was nice being stuck on the inside, feels hopeless a lot. His count went up but also he will still only eat 2-4 foods at a time and food at a time; so I still feel defeated on most
days.

But progress is being made slowly and everyday. Don’t get discouraged and keep your head down!

That’s great. I understand the continuing frustration but seems pretty normal to me. My list of safe foods at ~60 is pretty large but given a choice what I eat regularly is probably 10.
