I finally got my son to take the EFAs!

March 21, 2002

Success!!! I finally got Eddie to take his EFAs. Thank you for all

the advice. I put the oil in a medicine syringe and told him if he

took it, he could have a glass of Coke. (He loves the stuff and I

usually don't let him have it) He didn't like it but he took it!

I was wondering how long it took before you saw any improvements.

Thanks again,

Congrats on getting your son to take the EFAs. I also had a hard time

getting my son to take it. After a few weeks, he was sucking it out of the

hole in the pill. Now 6 months later he reminds me if I forget to give it

to him.

I noticed a difference immediately in his overall motor coordination. After

a few days, he got on his tricycle and rode for the first time ever. Within

a few weeks, he stopped groping for words. He now has thousands of

words/sounds and speaks in sentences (paragraphs). He still has lots of work

to do on articulation and clarity but I am hopeful that will come in time.

Good Luck!!

and ,

Wanted to chime in here....I also have noticed these motor improvements;

although I didn't think about them till I read your post.......My son has

started to ride his toy cars and hasn't fallen..........he is a preemie and

has always had balance issues....it seems I have been so busy with everything

else in life that I overlooked this great improvement!!!!

Hugs,

, MOM to Aidan & Devlin former 30 weeker preemies, now 2 years,

global delays, NO speech!!

Desperate to hear the word MOMMY!!!!!
