hello there,
i am wondering if anyone has ever seen this before?  the child is 14 mo CA 
and 13 mo AA, she has a hx of reflux and was on medication early on, however, 
she still continues to throw up-often after a period of 30 minutes beyond 
feeding, mom is already thickening formula with rice cereal

she has this spot on her tongue about half way back on the left side that 
just appears starts out small, goes up to about the size of a quarter and then 
disappears,,usually whole span of incident is 5 days,,,when she has this spot, 
she rejects alot of food

the SLP and I that are her EI therapists would greatly appreciate any 
input/information
thank you!
