Day 43

Day 43

1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil, COOC Seal)
1 Tsp of Now Brand Inulin 
1 pill of Now Brand DHA-500 Fish Oil

First morning in a while zero push back for school or wearing pants in lieu of shorts.   I am hoping for the school the aggression period is over.   About 22 more minutes of rest before she gets on the bus.

We did go to a couple of stores yesterday, and she rode a bike around Walmart, again.  She really loves it.     Everything seems so surreal.  I always see people in the groups say they feel like they got their child back once they see these changes.   Monica being six, with severe Sensory Processing and ASD since birth, this is more like added awesome to her current awesome personality.   She is still Monica.   She asked to "Play Bike" on her talker. She asked for "Want Cookies" a little later.  She says "MMMMMM" in lieu of more.  She loves saying Bye Bye.  

And still, managing expectation is very important.   Her brain is still growing while her brain just started to heal. If we thought the brain was confusing enough.. can you imagine what Monica is going through right now?  I would like to think it is a better focus for her, however what if it is just added noise because instead of being tuned into one thing, she is noticing everything.  That could be just as overwhelming!

One last observation.  I also noticed instead of videos and movies, she has also been looking at books on youtube, or on websites.  She learned to navigate Samsung internet on her tablet, instead of just the apps, and has several tabs open with different books.
