BIG things are happening!!

Today was a WONDERFUL day! Was up early and got our food all prepared for the next couple days. Then we were off to visit with family for the annual car show/birthday party not far from home. Arianna was happy to see everyone and got to pick the winning ticket for the 50/50 raffle. The woman who won was SO nice...she came over and gave Arianna a $5 bill for which Arianna quickly replied "mommy, it's lots of money to go to Disney world!" I had the BIGGEST grin on my face and just LOVE how much she has improved in just over a week - - it's truly miraculous! God as well as all the biomedical therapies, supplements etc... are starting to truly work miracles in our life for which I am forever grateful.

After the party we went to my moms to visit for a bit and guess what?? Arianna used the potty AGAIN! WOW! She just makes me SO proud and we cannot wait to share the news with the ladies at HBOT as I think they will be floored at how fast hyberbaric is helping my little angel. To hear her talk now is music to my ears...I get to talk WITH her and she repeats EVERYTHING. She is reading more and more words every day in her books, using phrases and giving responses I've longed to hear for years and she demands eye contact and attention when she is speaking. Her wants and wishes are very well known and she keeps telling me about going to school with the 'big kids' soon. It already appears that we will need a whole new IEP for the upcoming school year as I believe she will be able to mainstream with a para pro and have much less time in the autism supports room. This is turning out to be an amazing summer for us!

Arianna is very adamant about going to see Mickey Mouse at Disney world.
It seems like she understands that when we no longer use pull-ups and go on the potty we will be able to save up for that trip even faster. Even though she didn't need to go, she still made a real attempt before bedtime for which she was highly rewarded and praised. THIS is just the beginning to a future that I now see as not only filled with hope but full of endless possibilities.
