Got 2 Urine Toxic Metals Test results back.
They show he is now letting out Mercury (what?), Arsenic (what?) and Thallium (what?) amongst others. I read what Thallium is and I cannot believe it. Some people use it to poison others! All of this leads me to confirm, even more now, that he cannot get rid of any toxins naturally like most people can. At least in his case, this all makes sense and the proof is in the results. Actual results on paper!
On a good note, the changes these past 3 weeks have been remarkable. I still cannot have a real conversation with him, but his speech in terms of scripting (repeating songs and movie lines) and requesting have doubled! He is still stimming and a little hyper BUT:
- He no longer just says I -PAUSE- WANT -PAUSE -PRETZELS. Now it flows and he just says it all like he has been saying it forever.
- Eye contact is amazing and he is starting to string phrases along from the ones he knows already, but all at once "Mommy, come with me please, I want lunch time" HUH? What? You want lunch time? WOW! I could not believe it. I said "What do you want? Bananas? Tots? and he said "CHICKEN!" He got it, of course.
- He has been walking around the house like he has never been here, almost like studying it and learning every angle!
- Playing with toys he never even touched before!
- Jumping from his trampoline into the ball pit like all the kids do when they come here and he rarely ever did.
- Attempting to read everything he sees.
- Labeling everything he sees.
- Singing out loud, all day long. Enough to tempt me to ask him to be quiet, but I would never! lol Sing, sing! lol
- He is just sooo happy all day long.
- He has been accepting of the "open a gift" concept.

- Lastly, he is attempting to ride his new scooter (which requires tons of coordination) and is succeeding little bits at a time!!!
Perhaps he will hit a plateau or nothing else will happen, but for the first time in a LONG time I am really, really truly hopeful. It truly is amazing to experience.
