Round 7 - wonderful changes!

[Guest guest]

Just completed Henry's 7th round of DMSA (3rd with ALA) last

Saturday. Henry is 34 mos old, pretty good language for his age but

somewhat limited imaginary play and poor motor planning. Yesterday I

was using the spray window cleaner, and he kept saying " I want

sprayer " , so I filled up an old one with water and gave it to him

with a rag. He went around our living room " cleaning " (never did

anything like this before), and then sat down with his play garage

and matchbox cars. I left the room for a few minutes and came back,

he was spraying the cars and wiping them off. I asked him what he

was doing and he said " They are in the car wash " , then he started

blowing on them like the air blowers in the drivethru car washes.

Then later in the night, I watched him drag a chair into the kitchen,

and put it in front of the frig because he wanted to get some ice

from the door dispenser. This doesn't sound like much, but Henry

generally doesn't use " tools " to get what he wants (like the chair)

and this felt big to me. BTW...this is our 3rd round with ALA and no

signs of yeast...I expect it every round, but with Candex, etc we

aren't seeing any signs of it, poop wise or behavior wise. Just had

to share, yesterday was a really good day....Kim

Kim,

That is great news! It is very encouraging and inspirational to read posts like

yours. Every bit of progress gives me such hope for me child's future. We're

starting round 6 tomorrow - ALA only. Just tonight my 3.8 year old answered

these questions for the first time: " What's your name? " " Are you a boy or a

girl? " " What's my name? " and " What's her name? " referring to his sister. I was

so happy. Here is to our continued success! KIM
