Day 17 and 18

[Guest guest]

Day 17

It has continued to be extremely busy trying to get ready for the holidays. I

found myself able to run as many errands that I needed to while taking

and both of her sisters along. has been so pleasant and talkative that

it is now fun to take her shopping with us just to see her facial expressions or

her new found people watching skills.

I was thinking while waiting in a very long line today with all the girls that I

would not have been able to do this even a few weeks ago. For example when we

had family and friends over for Thanksgiving dinner I had to send my husband and

my two daughters out for all the groceries while Mel and I stayed home. Who

would have known that Christmas would be so different with a new sense of

freedom for our entire family? My husband is working on some house projects so

I am able to run and get everything done as I am taking with me. The

best part of this whole new situation is that is actually enjoying

herself. Before all Mel wanted to do was watch TV and she never seemed happy,

yet in these last two weeks it’s like a new world for her to explore and she

wants to explore it now.

is continuing to improve with her speech each day as well in regards to

new words and sentences, longer sentences, as well as clarity. We have not had

one day of regression since beginning the Nutriiveda. Before it was always one

step forward and more than two steps back. Now we seem to be moving forward

each day without taking any steps back. I still find myself awake a lot at

night wondering what the next day, the next month, even the next year will bring

with .

Day 18

continues to work on her computer without any help and uses it thru out

the day each day. was on her computer today and I asked her if she

wanted any help and she said very loud and clear " no " and went back to her

program. She still has the touch screen mastered but really is trying

hard this past week with the mouse and while we did see some frustration the

first day or so, now we see more determination.

I told my husband today that I truly feel I finally have an easier life thanks

to the Nutriiveda. The Nutriiveda is helping each one of us in our family in

its own way. Who would ever think that one product could make such a huge

difference in an entire family, especially my Mel! That is exactly what

Nutriiveda has done. Day 18, not even 3 weeks yet and my daughter has had a

transformation. had said hearing Mel’s story it’s almost like she’s come

out of a lifelong coma and is finally seeing the world, us, her sisters. That

does seem like a good analogy.

As I sit here typing my blog I am still amazed at this product but very thankful

for those who have made it possible and even more thankful that introduced

the Nutriiveda to me and has been by our side the entire last 18 days. I’m

thankful that found out about this product due to her own son Tanner’s

surges on it. Please read Tanner’s story as well at

http://www.pursuitofresearch.org and please share this information with your

child’s doctor and don’t assume there isn’t hope in this world for your child no

matter what age. No material gift could ever replace what has happened to our

family the last 18 days. I told my husband this evening if this is as far as

will go I feel we have finally won! I’ve said that almost from day one

of Nutriiveda I guess because I never expected this to work for my Mel and I’m

grateful for any changes. Not expecting more and more each day. My husband

looked at me and he said there will be a lot of amazing changes for Mel in 2010

and that I just need to be patient because good things come to those who wait.

I of course always having to get the last word in reminded him that we have been

waiting 25 years, which is such a very long time that I sure hope the good

things become great things! If this is where 18 days has brought us, I hold my

breath to even imagine further into the future. But I am hopeful, and I also

feel so fortunate to have found something after all these years that is helping

my Mel.

Merry Christmas all!
