Day 228

1/2 Tsp ( 2.5ml ) of Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Fish Oil
1/8 Tsp of Now Brand Inulin 

One thing I want to talk about is how she is continuing to connect life around her.  Even songs about books or bookcase, now she is pointing to our bookcase in our living room.  

She is almost seven, and it's okay to watch preschool songs to allow her to relearn things in this new light.  

The Nemechek Protocol is something that won't be over night, over seven months, and every day she is connecting words with objects.. 

Even outside a week ago, she saw us sifting some dirt, and she took the shovel to help us sift.  Put the shovel in the dirt on the ground and into the sifter. Without any instruction. 

Be patient with this protocol. 

Please.

Seven months on the Nemechek Protocol.  A Global Pandemic. School cancelled a month already.   Can we say it's been a crazy time?

Monica is still non verbal, but don't look at that as a failure. She is waking up, taking herself to the bathroom.  She is putting clothes on.  She is roller skating, she is bike riding.  She does math game on her own.  

Believe Dr Nemechek in that with slow healing needs to be slow pruning the brain to connect the dots.  Monica sure is.  She was pretty good before knowing her surroundings, but now she's almost like Google Maps!  We passed Extreme Wheels in Crystal Lake yesterday on the way to Walgreens, and she was adamantly pointing out the window letting me know she wants to go.   She helps put groceries in the cart, and she helps me get groceries in the trunk of the car. 

Playing with her little sister who is almost 3 has been awakening.  She went from not caring, to being an instigator with her.   

While I have so many pluses, I want everyone to understand I am not trying to change her.  I am still letting her be Monica.  All these changes she has been doing on her own.  Even down to her putting her socks on. I wasn't even in the room, and she wanted to Roller Skate, so when I returned she had the socks on.  She flaps, she growls, she is still Monica. But connecting the world around her.
