Update

Same old, same old. We've been really busy with therapies, school, work, etc. Sean is still doing really well in his therapies. The supplements have worked wonders. His therapy clinic has hired a full-time dietitian/nutritionist who specializes in autistic kids. She will be gradually adding a few more supplements to his regimen to see if they help even more. Sean is also going in for his second round of testing to determine how well his liver works. It's just a pee test and a finger prick. Apparently, a large percentage of autistic kids have a liver disorder that essentially filters out too many of the antioxidants they take in, leaving them with serious deficiencies that have damaging effects on the brain. If he falls into that category, his doctor will move him to prescription strength supplements to try to bring up his levels.

Eli is as crazy as ever. He is so strong. He is climbing on everything, chairs, couches, tables, etc. I am afraid he may be close to climbing out of his crib. I don't honestly know what I will do if that happens. He still isn't talking, so he will likely have to start speech therapy soon. He interacts with therapists all the time at Sean's appointments and they are all convinced he has a simple speech delay and not autism. Hopefully, some speech therapy will get him motivated to start talking. If not, I have a lot of experience communicating with a mute kid so what's one more, right? Sigh......
