We have been doing GFCF diet for a month now and doctor wants us to continue at least 2 more months. We haven't seen any major changes with her sensory issues (head banging, rocking, attention, etc) BUT we do not have to give her Miralax daily anymore for constipation. It is also forcing her to eat new foods and we don't have any junk food around anymore so she is forced to eat healthier. Being GFCF also makes it really hard to eat out so that helps her be healthier too.
Saturday
Today Noah woke with a high fever and severe congestion. I think he has my allergies because this is the 5th sinus infection he has gotten. We took him to the doctor to make sure it was nothing else but had to do antibiotics. He was so weak, no appetite, very fussy, and wanted to be held every second. We had to work a little bit harder today keeping kids separated since Ashley cannot handle Noah crying or being upset. We also didn't get to both do our sessions with Ashley since you can still hear him upstairs but Jeremy had some good interaction with her at the park outings. She did say "more" multiple times asking for more swinging.
At lunch, she said "drink, juice, and iii(for ice)."
In session with me when Noah was napping, she said "burpa (for purple), try, want, I want, ba-per (for cracker), and water." She was really into books today and the colored bears. She has a sensory stretchy lizard so she would get a purple bear and have the lizard hold it with both its hands. It was really cute. Then the lizard wanted to hold toothbrush and she had lizard brush his teeth too! The lizard got to hold several items in session and I love seeing that because it shows her imagination!
When Jeremy and I were in the kitchen after dinner, we heard the bathroom door open. I went to check fast and she was going potty!!!! She did this independently and we did not ask if she needed to go.
Sunday
She said "drink, juice and chips" at lunch today and "dum-dum" at church. She said "muffin" that evening. She also went into potty independently today too!
Monday
She said "I want, water, and muffin". In speech, she said "water bottle". We had a long doctors appointment today so we didn't get to have a session. However, she did say "pop" 2 times during appointment because I commented on her Ring Pop. She also said "no" and "yeah" in response to 2 different questions.
Tuesday
At school, she said "chex" and "water". She had great session with Becky and made lots of eye contact. She said "done" after going potty. Today I heard her say "treat" 6 different times in the afternoon but it wasn't directed at anything. She had a great session with Becky, made lots of eye contact, and lots of interaction with all the activities!
One of Noah and Ashley's favorite activities this week was pushing the 2 green chairs together and relaxing! She thought it was funny that Noah wanted to join her and Noah loves watching her!
Wednesday
She had a great day at school and said "thank you" after Ms. Callie did! She was really focused today and listened well! We had another doctors appointment this afternoon. She did say "yeah" when responding to one of my questions!
Thursday
She had a good day at school and went to the restroom independently TWO times without being asked or apart of her schedule! She also said "swing" and "rock" when they were outdoors!
In session with Tracy, she said "water, red, burple (for purple), Bora (for Dora ball), ball, mmm (eating), marble, boun (for bounce) and no" when she asked if needed go potty!
Friday
Today at school she said "please" twice while signing and "banana". At speech with Brooke, she said "more, mine, ice, watching Veggie Tales, nat (for snack), duck, yeah, eat, drink, ducks off, quack-quack, boff (for off) and no." She had a short session with Grammy and had a lot of fun! At dinner, it was a little rough but we have to keep to our goal of sitting as a family. My mom left with both kids a little upset so I sent her this picture of us having fun time after dinner and waiting for daddy to come home.
