Arianna has been having a difficult time with the detox from her enzyme and probiotic therapies. The B12 shots for her have come to a halt for a little while as she is one strong little gal to try and give an injection to. While it may be something that can get her to another level, the stress on both our parts have taken a toll. We'll take a break and try again hopefully after her gut can heal more and her stimming settles down and her eye contact and focus returns.
The latest goal is to come up with the funds for HBOT treatments (Hyper baric oxygen therapy) - - it's recommended to have 40 continuous treatments at a cost of 140.00 per treatment. YIKES! How heart breaking it is to know that there is something than can possibly help your child and you cannot afford it...its things like this that can easily depress a parents spirits. I'm going to try and save up enough to do 20 sessions and if paid in full w/ a 10% discount it's still $2500. SOO....time to start raising some money for this mom. I have the will so I WILL find a way! A new friend is starting this therapy for her little boy and I am looking forward to getting daily updates as to how he progresses.
Should the lotto ever come my way... $35,000 is the cost for a stem cell transplant which could be the miracle of all miracles. I've already spoke to the facility who does them but when the cost is more then I make in a year it seems impossible. But again, I have the WILL to keep going so I will have to find a way, somehow and sometime and hopefully sooner than later.
With school being out and Arianna's 3 days at daycare all day starting tomorrow, my hopes is that she doesn't regress from all the progress she's made. Any change in routines can be trouble so say a prayer for her to have a smooth transition over the summer until school starts up again this fall.
God Bless!
