It has been awhile since I posted. We have been having computer problems and I was out of town and sick. We had a fundraiser for Melissa and it went great! We have the money set aside for her in an account. This money will only be used to pay for things for Melissa that insurance doesn’t cover.
Melissa has gained such a personality she knows what she wants and when she wants it! The other day she spit sweet potatos out at her sister after a few minutes Shelby goes mom I don’t think she likes them. I had to agree as she never spits food out in fact Melissa lives to eat (you’d never guess that by looking at her as she is so little but she eats way more then any of my other kids at her age).
There has been a change in her with her therapists. She acts like she want to get going and she is going to work to do that. She is getting Physical Therapy 3x a week now and is so tired when she is done with a half hour session.
We just did another 11 treatments of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on her and while doing that she started holding her bottle (not by herself yet but, putting her hands on it is a huge step) She is grabbing the toys on her gym that she lays under and sometimes even pulling them off. When working with her Occupational Therapist she is now making purposeful movements of pushing buttons to turn things on! Wow, what a difference a year ago they were just trying to get her to see something red or yellow and we had to be in a dark room with a light on the object they were trying to get her to look at!
We got to a point I didn’t think the Himalayan Goji Juice was doing much for her until we ran out, I’ll make sure she gets her Himalayan Goji Juice now! The Goji has helped so much with anything to do with her mouth and her seizures. She babbles, and coos, eats table foods, smiles more, laughs, and the seizures are less and less intense. I can actually leave her sometimes she has improved so much after starting on the Goji.
