What a beautiful day.........

The weather was the best its been yet this Spring today on
the Jersey Shore. We enjoyed ourselves being together &
getting outside for much of the day. Naps came after hours
of giggles & squeals of glee about the sand & water table being
filled up. My husband & I got a bunch of stuff done outside &
around the yard so it was a A+ day all around here.

It was also a beautiful day for another reason too.......my
son is making strides lately. He had the week after Easter
off so we did a Yeast/Candida die off, changed him to Almond
milk and started a new probiotic at the same time. Last year
around the same time we started getting great results after
introducing Fish Oils & B vitamins. Its Easter a time of fresh
starts & rebirth right? So I figured why not! We all said our
prayers & jumped in head first.

I've said before it was almost like somebody turned off my
son's bright light when he was injured by the MMR. Can I
just tell you that now its more like somebody put it on a
dimmer switch & it just got turned up a notch. My son is
more engaging than ever now. He's seeking out company
again and can be seen hugging & kissing all the people he
recognizes. He's seeking out eye contact & holding our
gazes while giving us a nice big social smile too. My sweet
boy is even starting to do funny things like his sister does
and stopping to wait for us to laugh & he joins in too. My
heart is feeling like it could overflow now as I'm blogging
about it.

Tears came to my eyes & my 5 1/2 year old daughter
came over & said what's wrong and Will was right behind
her with a kiss & rub on the back for mommy too. All of you
other parents of Autistic children know what a HUGE DEAL
this all is for us. We sent him back to school & everybody
noticed the change. He has been eating everything in sight
lately which isn't unusual but normally he just wants to eat
junk or only one or two things. Suddenly, he'll eat anything
on his plate. Even if he doesn't eat it all he'll try it now; this
is a profound change for William. I scared the heck out of
him the other night when he ate Peas cause I whooped so
loud. LOL

He's also being a much better listener about 85% of
the time. That's huge because we used to have to ask
him not to do something several times or make him comply.
Now he does it on the first time asked. I'm starting to
wonder if my daughter wouldn't benefit from the same
things in her diet too. LOL Does anyone know if Omega 3
is good for sassiness? All joking aside; most Autistic kids
struggle with GI issues at various points of their lives.
Will had terrible issues & things just seemed to run out
of him. Not now!!! He's even getting back to normal for
that kind of stuff again too which wasn't ever a problem
prior to his vaccination injury. The smell is terrible but
I'm attributing it to the fact that his system is flushing
the toxins out and if it wasn't bad for him then it wouldn't
smell so bad either.

Its a beautiful day!
