We hope that 2011 is treating you all very well so far! Arianna and I spent some mommy/daughter time at Dave and Busters on the 30th. We had lunch and she was SURE to tell me "coin games" when I asked which games she wanted to play with me while there. If you don't know the FUN of this place, and the lights, noise, distractions...it can easily be a sensory overload for ANY child. Arianna did rather well this time around visiting and we had allot of fun together. I'm so proud to see her being able to handle doing new things and be in situations I would've easily avoided just a year ago.
2010 was filled with the most healing moments in our journey since 2005. With the introduction of hyperbaric treatments and some new supplements...I finally have the glimpse of a somewhat typical little girl who is almost 7 years old. While I always wish I could make her better quicker, I remind myself often that it could be much worse. I could still have that little 18 month to 2 1/2 yr old who didn't want to be touched, wouldn't look at me, seemed deaf and sat in a corner by herself spinning something and doing uncontrollable hand stemming and twitching.
I have many hopes and dreams for this year for both Arianna AND myself. I not only have goals for myself and the life I can provide for my child, but I also have the list ready of things I want to do or improve upon for her. Continuing the long list of supplements she's been on, a plan of more hyperbaric sessions in week long stints for optimal results and a plan for getting her neurological and digestive systems running the best that they can. It'll be a year full of financial trials where I had NO idea HOW I will accomplish things in terms of money, hundreds of hours required by us both and I'm sure lots of objections from my little fighter but it will be worth it. I see a beautiful young girl who is FINALLY able to use the toilet by herself, be spontaneous and laugh at jokes, enjoy social settings and attempting to make friends, willingness to do and try new things and most of all she seems to be HAPPY, HEALTHY and know LOVE.
There is ALLOT of information out there which can help prevent parents from having to go through trials such as we have so I ask in this new year to educate yourselves on your rights and what is being projected as mandatory or required when it comes to our children from the medical and governmental agencies. visit sites such as http://www.naturalnews.com/ and http://www.tuberose.com/ and watch some of the videos on youtube about our food supplies and other environmental factors that are making our country the most UNHEALTHY country on our planet.
God Bless you all in this new year...lets do things to make it a BETTER year all around and a better future for all!
