Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi Everyone I wanted to post a positive update about my son and the Vitamin E supplements we started about a month ago. I know this caused some controversy last time - but I think that was more with the Vit E and Vit K that caused some regression with others kids - we just added Vit E oil drops 1000 iu a day per our DAN's recommendation. We have continued to see amazing growth in Chase. He is 3 1/2 and oficially diagnosed with SPD/SID and apraxia. He is very social has good eye contact - but has lots of problems with transitons and continuing the flow of conversation. Since the Vit E drops we have seen a language explosion - he is prob at about 100 words a day now, he has expanded on his words - sentences. Ex: for the longest time when he would want something he would grunt - then he would say " go " then he would say " come " He used " come " for a very long time - and since the Vit E oil he now comes up to me or whoever he wants help from " come with me please " then I will get up and he will say " thank you " - we also get a lot of " I love you " out of the clear blue - when he looks at us and smiles The BIGGEST change that I am thrilled about is he has started to finally answer our questions. Most of the time I get a " NO " but he is acknowledging me and giving me an answer. Example: " Chase do you have to go Potty? " " NO! " or he will say " pee pee pee pee " and run in and go. He has even started to run in from playing outside and yell " pee pee " and I say ok let's go - and he says " help me " and we go - yay!!!! and always when he's done " yay we did it " or " way to go " .... He still cannot frequently answer questions like " do you want a red cup or blue cup? " every now and then he will say the color red or blue but most of the time he will point and yell " this one " - so we are just at the beginning stages of having him start to answer questions. One of the funniest things I have heard him say since the Vit E drops is he will come upon his sister playing something and say to her " incredible " - Incredible - where the heck did that come from? LOL....his overall demeanor is a lot more calm - his circles are gone from under his eyes and he is for the most part listening a lot better. I have to add that this along with his other DAN protocol (GFCF) really seems to be helping him - he has some impulse control issues and his attention can sometimes not be the greatest - but my NT daughter is classic ADHD - Im just wondering if this is what he truly has?? Only time will tell as he gets older. We still have a long way to go - but were on our way!!! Thanks for letting me share! Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
