Tony - EAC special focus individual referral

Tony is a 4 1/2 year old boy with post op CHD Tetralogy of Fellot. He recovered well from surgery and stopped taking medication a year after the TOF was repaired. He goes to school, asks questions and speaks sentences of 5-10 words. He is a deep sleeper and  has a good appetite. He isn't a picky eater. He is very caring; he will share his snacks with other children. He can draw 7-10 parts of a person, catch a ball thrown to him, and stand on one foot for 5 seconds. He likes to play with cars and blocks.

Here's Tony doing one of his favorite activities: kungfu

CCCWA posted special needs referrals tongiht

CCCWA posted special needs referrals tonight. Families with a dossier logged in at CCCWA can be matched with a referral with a minor correctable condition.
CCCWA posts special needs referrals once a month. Special focus referrals, conditions that are more serious, are posted throughout the month.

Non special needs program update

CCCWA issued referrals of non special needs babies to families with dossiers LID (log in date) through 9/21/06. Families waiting for referral through LID will need to switch to the I800A after they have had two free extensions of the I600A.

7 families in China

Mr Zhou is currently in China. On Monday 7 children became part of their forever families. All the children are doing well, bonding with their parents.

A family's wait for referral will depend on the age, gender and medical conditions that they are open to. Families who receive a referral after LID (log in date) will travel 4-6 months after accepting referral. Families who accept a special focus referral before the home study process has started typically travel 9-12 months later. While wait times will vary, all families would agree, the wait it worth it.

 

Recipe for picky eaters

When John and Gina's children came home from China, they were really picky eaters. They loved to eat noodles but getting them to eat vegetables and meat was another story. 

John and Gina came up with this quick and easy recipe for healthy Ramen noodles. Their children usually eat about 2-3 bowls.

4 cups chicken broth-bring to a boil (can use bouillion cube to really cut cost down on recipe)

2 TBSP soya sauce

1/2 tsp onion salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1-2 eggs (just break egg into boiling water and will cook in a few minutes)

frozen vegetables (cut really fine)-add to boiling broth for about 5 min

1/2 chicken breast (cut really fine)-add to boiling broth for about 5 min

Ramen noodles only (add crushed noodles and cook for about 3 min)

Now their children eat their vegetables and protein from chicken and they LOVE IT.
