TGI - THURSDAY!

Well, Thursday is just the ending of my work week but the busy schedule won't stop here. Tomorrow morning is another HBOT at 9 am followed by another visit to Terry for NAET. I'm really hoping that the MMR will have cleared but again, my gut is telling me it hasn't. Just haven't had that high 'brain fever' response but my hopes are that the HBOT has helped her body get rid of that a little easier. Guess we'll find out soon enough! Saturday is another HBOT then visiting friends and Sunday we have a party to stop in at and then visiting another friend that afternoon. Whew! Guess we're packing in lots of activities through to the end of our summer break but when Arianna and I get to have some fun and see friends it's all worth it.

I must say that Arianna is falling asleep much faster at night the last few days which is something HBOT is known to improve for children. She can be awake for an hour or more talking to her monkey and animals in her bed but lately it's taking less than 10 to 15 minutes and she's out cold. Great signs for her body to rest and heal.

Today after daycare I asked my usual question what she did and got the response 'went outside' again. I asked WHAT she did outside and she said "played games". Next I asked what KIND of games? and she told me "jumping frog game." It took a few minutes for my jaw to go back into place as this was the most she's been able to describe something to me that I can ever remember. I look forward to the day that I may want to tell her to stop talking so much (which I don't think I'll ever want her to do) and then remember back to the time when I wished she could talk to me MORE. :O)

Another new experience was when she was having her dinner. Bribes or reasoning doesn't typically work with Autistic children so this was interesting. She wanted an ice cream (non dairy) and I asked if she was done with her grilled 'cheese' yet. She said "no", I asked how many pieces she has left with the response of "4 bites left". I told her that she needed to finish her dinner before she could have an ice cream for which she gladly finished it and told me 'all gone'. Lots of smiles here for us tonight with all the new words and phrases being used. :O)

This mom is also ready for bed earlier and sleeping better lately so we're signing off for now. Hope to have more good news to share throughout the weekend. God Bless and Good Night!
