Well, I had today off work and you'd THINK that I'd have all this time to get caught up with projects, this and that but - NOPE! Seems the more time you have the LESS we get accomplished...weird how that works. :) It WAS nice to relax a little bit for a change and get ready for more work to come before school starts.
Arianna has continued to do well with peeing on the potty...a few accidents here or there but overall this mom is still very happy with her progress. I can say that hyperbaric plus the stem cell enhancer supplement have given me the most hope I've EVER had that Arianna's future can be filled with all that I wish her to experience. Of course she continues on her usual supplements, probiotics and digestive enzymes...in fact today she seemed out of sorts and was only happy-go-lucky at lunch time w/ mom and friends earlier. She wasn't up for playing even though we had company for a while this afternoon...she just seems a bit sad. I think that the extra probiotics the last day or two is doing a flush of some yeast build up which I can tell by her bowels (yes, the poop check as always - gotta LOVE autism and poop right??) It has been a while since I've given her an extra boost to flush her system so that can be part of why she's overly emotional and a little down. It's also allergy season still and our children are effected differently than you'd expect. Instead of a runny nose or sneezing, an autistic child can become more hyper, lethargic, sad, have puffy eyes and gut problems. Another part of course is she always wants to stay with Grandma Sandy and doesn't like to leave when we visit. Good news is that I suggested we go for a ride to get ourselves a small slurpee (the sugar free kind as always) which perked her spirits up and she finished tonight on a happy note before bed.
It's also exciting to hear of great news and progress with my friend Chae's son Cody. He's completed his 40 sessions of HBOT, has started recommended supplements, enzymes and probiotics as well as NAET and chiropractic care and WOW - little by little he's coming back to 'life' so to speak! For those parents who have a newly diagnosed child or even an older child - do NOT believe there is no hope! Do NOT listen when they tell you that there is nothing you can do or that your child cannot improve or get better....follow your gut and heart, pour your soul into the world of knowledge, natural medicine and biomedical treatments and FIGHT! FIGHT like you've never wanted something so much in your life! Surround yourself with people who understand, who "get it" and want to HELP in whatever way they can be it an ear to listen, a shoulder for tears and a reminder that you are doing everything you can to help your child heal. For anyone NOT with you, for you and for helping accomplish your mission...that is not what you need. We don't need negative against us while finding the positives. I've always asked God "why my child...why us?" It took a long time but I now KNOW why...it's to be there for someone who's going through what I've experienced and offer all that I know to them and if I don't know I will help find someone who does. I wish I had a "ME" 5 + years ago when this journey of autism started so you can bet your bottom that I'm not going anywhere...you won't get rid of me and I'll never stop fighting for my daughters right to a life and future she deserves to have NOR any other child who deserves the same. If you really want it, put it first in God's hands and He will guide you where you need to go. Keep your faith, keep researching (I do DAILY) and besides loving your child, keep fighting for them! When the time comes and your child is healed or doing much better...help another parent who's starting where you did. God's Blessings to you all!
When you think you're all alone or just happen to need one - - here is a BIG HUG from ME to YOU!! :O)
