Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 That is awesome. Sounds like he is doing great. After reading this I have to share a story too. We have been on NV for about a month now and Ethan is doing some pretty amazing stuff! His speech has improved 100 fold and he is so much more playful and quicker to respond(and I mean very witty lol.) This weekend though I got the best birthday present EVER! We had a party for my husband and I (our birthdays are 2 days apart) and there was kereoke - E got up in front of 40 people and sang Bohemian Rhapsody - sang all the words and hit all the notes on key! He was dancing around and loving it! He was the life of the party - people were floored at how good he was! He has always been shy - so it was really shocking when he just went up and grabbed the microphone and asked his dad to hit him with some Queen. Everyone was cheering him on. It made my heart melt. People at school have made comments about how well he is doing! Thank you so much for sharing this supplement. He is doing more and more amazing things everyday - and we are so grateful to have a network of people like you to give tips and ideas for natural ways to move E ahead - because he is a brilliant little boy who never gives up. He is always willing to try new stuff even if its hard, and that makes me so proud. After only one month we have mastered learning skills he has worked on for over a year (telling time, writing his name, drawing pictures) it is AMAZING~ Bless you for being such a great mom and caring person! Humphreys. Ethan's mom (8 years old). Illinois Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® [ ] New meaning of a stomach bug Today was Tanner's first day of 8th grade in a brand new school. He's all ready for it of course, all new school supplies (which I gave him the list and let him pick out himself) New haircut, clothes- all set. Tanner read more than the five books required to be part of the special back to school pizza party -so all set there too. He can't wait to meet all the new kids at this new school. (very sad story -his other school that we loved had to close due to the economy) So we're driving to Tanner's new school and Tanner says to me " Mom I have a problem I need help from you in how to get rid of it " So I said " What's the problem? " And he said " How do I get rid of the bugs in my stomach when it's the first day of school? " He immediately corrected himself and said " I mean butterflies " but it was sooooo cute!! I reminded him that his new teacher that we just met on " meet the teachers " night reminded both of us of his first grade teacher who is his favorite teacher of all time. I also told him that I would be nervous on my first day of school too in a new school -I don't know who wouldn't be. So I don't know if there is a way to get rid of stomach bugs (and I giggled) Anyway as we were talking back and forth it once again amazed me how improved his conversation skills were and I told him that I highly doubt anyone is even going to notice he ever had apraxia. So Tanner said " Do you think they are going to make me read outloud to the class because that's when I get bumpy " (he does when he's nervous) So I said to him " You can't go by what you used to do because you've had such dramatic surges since being on NV. It's a whole new world for you in a brand new school- and based on how you are doing you may just shock yourself in that you can read outloud now and not be bumpy! We'll see -I won't be shocked if he can...and he's doing so well it doesn't matter if he can't Happy back to school to all! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well in my book Ethan's nickname now is E-mazing!!!! I love the song Bohemian Rhapsody but OMG that's hard even for an adult to sing (but super fun song to sing for sure!!!) See and music is one of the areas of surge I too noticed in Tanner that like you is being noticed in others -must be a right brain creative thing? You know I do have the increase in the sense of humor (and that includes not sure if you noticed this but abstract humor which our kids can be lacking in) but thought I also had the increased interest in music up here http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html but don't! I have to add that. I am so thrilled to hear your update because I've been following Ethan's story for years through the blog you had for him. This is just amazing -I mean fish oils of course I'm still and will always be forever grateful for -but NV is just so many areas and such dramatic surges beyond -have you found the same? Like you saw catch up and beyond on academics and things you may have been working on for over a year in just days or weeks- it's hard to believe even when it's in front of you. Sometimes like I said it's like Tanner's a different Tanner- as if...I know I said this before -like the apraxia is reversing rather than the therapy type of surge? Do you see that? First day of school was rated by Tanner a 90 percent out of 100 (probably took off 10 percent for getting homework on the first day of the new school) he's made new friends already and said he's no longer nervous about the new school so no more bugs ha! So I'm actually kind of shocked that Tanner's got the homework he does on day one - on his computer with his books open and is writing some sort of report...I asked him if he needed any help and he said " no " and I said " why I want you to get to bed! " and he said " because I can do this myself " Ahhh nutriiveda you have changed my son so much that his own mother doesn't recognize him! I mean it's one thing to do homework himself -but NOW he no longer even WANTS any help even when offered! It's a happy happy happy day for me!!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 : I absolutely agree - NV is helping him in ways that therapy has not been able to over the past 6 years! We didn't get the video of Bohemian Rhapsody but my friend did get a clip of him singing Another One Bites the Dust - he doesn't know all the words to it but he did the chorus really well. Here is the link to see it - I posted it on my facebook for family to see: - sorry for all the background noise but it was party He loved it - we had it out at a cabin - he was in heaven between the outdoors and music. I will be sure to send you more updates. I just can't believe how much he doing in such a short amount of time! There are no words for how grateful we are. When I hear how well Tanner is doing - it gives me such high hopes. It just goes to show that there is an abundance of light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you again. ________________________________ From: kiddietalk <kiddietalk@...> Sent: Mon, August 23, 2010 9:57:12 PM Subject: [ ] Re: New meaning of a stomach bug Well in my book Ethan's nickname now is E-mazing!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 As the parent of a younger child I just want to thank you for bringing me so much hope for my son's future. I try not to compare my son to others but sometimes it's hard to go anywhere and be around children that are talking and playing with each other when my son doesn't do either. Today we were at a playground and while the other children were playing with each other, without me guiding him my son won't even play. Without me there he will stand off to the side and that fills me with sadness. But when I read updates about your children I realize that there is more I can do for him then just the intensive therapy we get for him now. I love that you say there is an abundance of light at the end of the tunnel! I pray for that and I thank you! > > : > > I absolutely agree - NV is helping him in ways that therapy has not been able to > over the past 6 years!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 , I just have to say Congrats in the surges Ethan has been making! If you have any questions about the changes my clients have been making who have been taking NV, email me on or off list. We have one client who is has been seizure free for 7 months!!! It is amazing! Warmest wishes, Barbara , M.S., CCC-SLP www.helpmespeak.com 410-442-9791 Ask me about NutriiVeda! On Aug 23, 2010, at 1:28 PM, csljh2000@... wrote: > That is awesome.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 you forgot to put the link to your page Would love to hear him sing Another One Bites the Dust! Oh I agree the fish oils and NV create an acceleration to any therapy. The brain responds to multiple stimuli- but what I'm curious about is the difference in surge you are noticing between the surges with fish oils and those with NV because again while fish oils we'll always use because in addition to them being essential and helpful as well -heart disease runs in my family and my husband's as well, the multiple areas of dramatic and rapid surges from NV is not like anything I've seen prior. And to know it's not just Tanner- I mean we are on to something and other parents need to know. PS speaking of which as I know what a great blogger you are -would you want to write up something with the video we can perhaps put up or link to from http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html Do you still have your blog? I couldn't find it. Again -CONGRATULATIONS!!! (to both our boys and others like them now!) ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
