Re: Sherry's Incredible Update!

[Guest guest]

Was there a regression when you ran out of NV?

> I wanted everyone to keep an eye on Sherry's blog of Josh because she has

reached a time that many of us have in the past as well...she's run out of

nutriiveda. Even though to read all the testimonies here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html or message after message here how

it's working...just like fish oils the best way to know it's working is to stop

using it for a day or so. That's what Sherry is going to do this weekend...well

in her case, not by choice, but due to UPS that's exactly what is going to

happen over this weekend.

> Fortunately like the fish oils the regressions may happen quickly when off

-but the surges back to where they were before are quick as well. For most of

us the regressions do happen within a day of being off NV -so again Sherry will

be able to document for all of us what she does or doesn't notice this weekend.

And Sherry has documented Josh on nutriiveda since day one and I encourage ALL

of you to try it to do the same!!!

> Oh and to Sherry -SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

> I have to say that today has completely convinced me that the NV is having the

effects I have been talking about. This was Josh's first full day of camp. The

camp was sponsored by one of Illinois' special rec associations. When I first

signed Josh up for the camp, I had spoken at length with one of the rec's reps.

After talking about Josh's special needs and the things he had been going

through at the time (hit a bus transportation person, having trouble getting

on/off the bus, laying down on the ground when overwhelmed, the frequency of the

psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, etc.), we decided to sign Josh up for camps

that were close to home in the event I would have to come pick him up. The camp

today was all about environmental adventures - something Josh isn't that crazy

about to begin with but that I felt would be " good " for him. As it turned out,

the campers were going to get on/off the bus 4 times, including once at a

restaurant for ice cream. Well, Josh doesn't do restaurants that are crowded

(and this one would be), and he doesn't eat cold things (sensory issues) so I

had my doubts about at least that part of the day, let alone the idea of on/off

buses that many times. For the last several weeks, I had been planning my own

work at the office to allow me to take work home should I need to get Josh.

> Gotta say, my guy was amazing today! I decided to take him to Elgin to get on

the bus - less kids, a bit more time to talk with the driver and bus aide, get

him settled on the bus. We stopped off at a bagel place to get snacks for the

office, stopped at the office to drop them off, then went to have a breakfast

car picnic while waiting for the bus. The bus arrived at 8:40 and there were

three or four other kids to get on. Josh hesitated maybe 1 minute in the car,

had a very short PNES (less than a minute, I think), got right on the bus, said

hello to the driver and aide, sat down in the first seat (his usual bus spot),

and let the aide - a complete stranger - help him with the seatbelt without

incident. I got no calls from the camp all day!

> The bus had picked up some more kids along the way and then went to the first

of the nature centers in McHenry. They were there for a couple of hours, then

went to the next - the Algonquin Water Conservancy. Then they were going to one

more nature place in Crystal Lake, and the restaurant. The camp folks decided

that Josh could hang at the camp offices in their lounge, watch a movie or

whatever, while the others went to the restaurant, and that was fine with me. He

had a great time all day! I don't know how involved he was with all the things

they actually did at these places but, gosh almighty, he made it through the

whole day and they made it through the day with him!

>

> When it came time to pick him up at 4:45 the weather had turned horrible - bad

storms, hurricane force winds, sky as dark as night, thunder, lightening. I had

actually called the camp just to find out what they were going to do in the

event the kids got caught outside and the person I spoke with said she had

actually gotten a report back that Josh was doing just great, even with all the

on/off the buses. By the time the bus arrived, the rain had let up a little and

I was standing outside the bus. I saw two of the other kids stand right in

Josh's space (he was sitting in the aisle seat rather than closer to the window)

and all I could think of was, omg, this is bad (when kids stand in his space, he

has been known to pull hair or hit rather than use his words " move please " ).

What I saw blew my mind - Josh sat there, hands down, turned to the kid closest

to him and was talking to him! Never, never have I seen that! Josh has always

related better to adults than kids, although his teacher this year said that

Josh would talk with one kid in particular at school, even asking him to come to

Josh's table to play. But I saw it today - he is relating to kids! YEAH!!! Josh

didn't want to get off the bus - the rain and thunder - but it took less than

three minutes for him to get up, and then run to our car! And, when we got home,

less than a minute to get out of the car and into the house - he did lay down

for all of about 30 seconds on the floor, but then got up and went right into

the bathroom - AND PEED!!! I had put him in double depends and underpants this

a.m., not knowing what the bathroom situation was going to be while out and

about with camp. He must have gone to pee during the day - the one depends was

barely wet, and everything else was dry. Whoo hoo!!!!

>

> Tomorrow, we celebrate! This week has been so amazing for him, he has done so

much, accomplished so much (for him) - I am going to get him over to the lab for

the blood tests (finally) but then we're going major train hunting. I had

suggested we go to Rochelle again but he said, " No, Hindale, Burlington trains! "

We haven't been to Hinsdale in probably over a year but it is a great spot to

watch BNSF trains and, weather allowing, have a picnic. So, at his request, we

will have PBJ sammies and watch the BNSF trains!

>

> Funny story - Josh is still watching the Blue's Clues, although less - he's

just busy doing other things. But, tonight he wanted to watch one of the

episodes on On Demand - Cafe Blue. I was reading the synopsis of the episode to

him with a French (horrible) accent, and he was correcting me on my words! LOL!!

>

> I have one serving left of NV until the new stuff comes on Monday (I hope) -

so I divvied it up into three cups, made up the rest of the 8 oz with just milk,

and I hope that just keeping some in his system until Monday will not make too

much of a difference in all that I've been seeing. Can't wait for Monday's UPS

delivery!!!!
