Thank you , Valentina update

February 5, 2004

,

Thank you so very mush for the warm welcome. We speak Serbian here,

not Albanian, but it is OK, you didn't know.

I really learned so much reading posts here, most of it I told

Valentina's neurologist before I got the ProEFA. She is a great

lady. She than searched herself and decided to try with EFA's. She

delayed the next MRI (it was supposed to be around her 2nd birthday,

which is now) to be able to see if there would be the changes in

myelin.

Now about effects. I know this may look overreacting, but I think I

already see some changes. But, again, this could be a coincidence.

I gave Valentina the oil squeezed from the capsule with her

breakfast, and then we went on a PT, and in the car she just started

babbling without anyone prompting. She has done that before, bun

really only in the afternoon, or evening (she is much more active in

the evening, has always been). She babbled the whole day.

Also, she tends to play with her toys other than just throwing them,

she would put them where I asked her to (the cubes and the rings are

her favorites).

And one thing more. She really likes music, she used to jump (with

both legs in the same time) as if she is dancing. Now she moves from

one leg to another, making moves as she is marching. That sure is a

new thing.

Also, I put some soft cookies on the table for some guests, and she

wanted them. She actually took a few bites, and chewed a little. She

doesn't chew well at all.

I will keep you posted with the changes.

Lots of hugs,

Ivana mom to Valentina, soon to be 2 years, microcephaly secondary

to bacterial meningitis, hypertonia, delayed myelination,

strabismus, and making steps with assistance
