'Tis the Season to be CRAZY!

Ok, not really! Just trudgin' along, making the best of things. Max has started both Occupational and Speech therapies. We interviewed a possible Habilitation provider last night. She's very nice, older, and is looking to be a part of a child's life. I don't think she expected Max tho. lol When someone hasn't met him and has only seen his paperwork, they are quite surprised to find a very active, chatter box little kid. Keep in mind, Max's paperwork goes something like this:

~~ Diagnosed at 10 months old with Cerebral Palsy, obtained OT and Developmental therapies until age two. At two, Max added speech therapy to his schedule and mom suspected Autism. At 2 years, 9 months Max started East Mesa Early Childhood Education Center for Speech (severely delayed). At age 3 years, 7 months, Max was diagnosed with PDD-Nos (Pervasive Development Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified).~~

Everyone is expecting a child sitting in one place, staring off into space. LMAO! I love it when they don't get what they expect.
See the paperwork says nothing about starting biomedical treatments such as the GF/CF diet, or limiting preservatives, artificial colors and flavors; or adding vitamins and minerals to his diet. Now that Max is thriving in this environment, therapists and medicaid workers don't get what happened. I'm very proud of him! He's come a long way.
I may get really frustrated when I'm extremely tired (like lately), but ultimately he's my SNICKERDOODLE!
Here's a pic of this FINE looking couple who were spotted this past Saturday at the Carollo Christmas Party. (Oh, I mean the Carollo HOLIDAY Party!) Must be PC you know.

Dios esté con usted,

Gina
