First I'll share the great GREAT news....Arianna is 100% potty trained now! I'm SOO proud of her! She is also VERY proud of herself and earned her last chipmunk girl doll Jeanette for this last step of using the toilet for #2's as well as $5 for her piggy bank savings for Disney World. The BEST part about this....she did it ALL on her own! This latest accomplishment is a great addition to many good things that have happened for Arianna this year.
Second is the "ah ha!" moment of this past weeks set backs....Arianna seems to have a slight chest cold (a productive cough started Saturday morning) so no wonder she's been "off" task.
When children on the autism spectrum come down with a 'bug', it often effects their brain and gut...the weak spots from toxin damage done in the past. This is another reason why it is SO important to heal and keep healing your child's intestines, digestion and strengthen their immune system while supporting brain and nerve function. Do you ever wonder ~WHY~ you see a child with moderate to severe autism smack their heads or ears with their hands??? It's because they are trying to make the pain stop! Yes...their brains are literally starving for oxygen and nutrition and trying so hard to do what it is MEANT to do - THINK. This thinking and over firing causes physical PAIN to them. When I see a child doing this it breaks my heart....I want to help, I want to see them heal and feel better.
In another couple weeks it'll be time to put up our Christmas tree and get snuggled and ready for winter and what I hope to be happy holidays. This will be our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and start a new year without my mom here and for Arianna, no grandparent to share these times with. Again, we are thankful for our support system of friends and family who keep in touch with us. Hope you all had a great weekend!
