FW: Ju put this on the valtrex list and here is my answer to her

[Guest guest]

Der List-mates,

I would like to share with you my son's progress after 7 months period with

Dr.G. He has huge progress, He learns how to sing 20 songs, suddenly reads

many

words, being able to handle and play on complicated obstacles at the

playground, Can you believe it that he can even do Rock climbing, imitate

and

imagination play, dance and wrestle with us, looking at the camera when

being

taken pictures,learns things faster than before, is very alert, still has a

lot

more to list down..one more thing he is very opinionated now and has a

normal

child's reaction. I remembered 7 months ago, his psychiatrist has prognosis

of

him as a severe autistic. Yesterday, I got a report from his psychiatrist,

believe it or not " the report wrote: Mild autistic " .

The best thing is his face is full of beautiful smiles and expression. I

love

him more and more each day. Although he is still far from finish line but

seeing

his improvement I am very sure One day there is a breakthrough, as long as I

do

not give up hope on him. Let us keep hoping for the best.

Jed's mummy

Ju,

I was scared when I first sent you to Dr. Goldberg. What if he couldn't

help Jedi? You were coming all the way from Singapore and what if your son

had too many problems with his immune system to be helped? But you were

determined and convinced this was what you were going to do even though I

tried to convince you to start with a doctor from Singapore to see if Jedi

responded to treatment. Ju needs to take credit for all the hours she has

worked teaching Jedi what he couldn't learn before Dr G treated his immune

issues.

One of the reasons Ju has had so much success with Jedi is that she has

taken things into her own hands. She fired all the therapists who didn't

believe Jedi could get better and started teaching him herself. At first

the progress was slow and not an immediate, but Ju now understands that

these kids pick up where they left off. Her son was two when he stopped

progressing so he had to learn all the things two year olds learns.

Jedi had outbursts like a two year old at first (which doesn't look so good

when a kid is five or six) but they need to go through all the developmental

stages normal kids do. It is hard because they need to be taught what other

kids just learn.

Ju, you are an amazing mom and I'm so proud of what you have accomplished

with Jedi in such a relatively short period of time. This is hard, not an

immediate fix, and definitely not for sissies. You keep going girl. He

will get better with a mom like you.

To have results like Ju, moms have to be a bit obsessive and not give up

when their children don't look at them or respond to them. Our kids in the

beginning don't show us they are learning. We have to keep talking to them

even though there is no indication our children get what you are saying.

Only a dedicated stubborn mom like you can do that. You are truly

amazing!!!

Best and love always,

Marcia
