Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 I just wanted to share an update about my 7.2 yo son. We are finishing up round 2 of oral DMSA/ALA and we are already seeing improvements. I have tried for over 4 years to get him to pedal a bike, but he never seemed to understand what to do. Today, he went out, I showed him again, and he started pedalling and hasn't stopped. He loves it! We have also had a decrease in stimming and scripting. He talks, but it is usually echoed phrases even though he uses them in appropriate context. Now, he has started using some complete sentences that he is obviously making himself, and he is actually answering questions with yes and no. I was worried that he was too old to see any early or marked improvements. I know these are small gains, but I hope this bodes well for his complete recovery. I never heard of chelating until June of this year. Sure wish I'd have known about it earlier. Thanks to everyone on this list! I have learned so much from you all. Carmen Quote
