Robin,

Your posts are so encouraging! Hooray for the benefits for your

family and especially for ! How beautiful that she is

participating ever more in life and doesn't just have to watch! It's

like stepping off a plane in a beautiful foreign country where even

the air seems different and ripe with possibility! I get excited and

teary eyed when I read your posts and I feel that there is hope for my

Matt too! Keep posting!

Hi Noelle,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our updates. Martha had

given a lot of speech homework for this week. I really did

not think would cooperate due to past experiences and speech

homework. To our amazement she did everything yesterday that was

asked of her. Last night we noticed a more alert and happier

. She also was able to move more freely as well. We think the

brain gym exercises that Martha is having us do with each day

is helping with that. We are just so grateful to and

Nutriiveda. We can not believe how quickly our lives have changed and

the new sense of hope we feel in less than three months.

Please keep us updated on Matt.

Thanks,

Robin

Wow today is day 74 and so many changes have happened and they seem to 

be continuing.  The last time I wrote I was feeling a lot of 

frustration and felt a lot of stress for two evaluations  that were 

scheduled for .  I now have so much hope and incredible updates 

to share that I barely know where to start!

Mel’s first evaluation was this past Saturday with a Chiropractor to 

investigate Craniosacral Therapy for , as  deep tissue massage 

for Tomi was suggested by Tomi’s  coach

and we were going to be going there anyway.  I have always wanted to 

try Craniosacral therapy for Mel.  I had the two evaluation 

appointments made well in advance thinking that Tom would be able to 

attend both appointments knowing that would not cooperate 

unless Tom was there due to her past history.  Tom had to fly to 

California last Thursday for an unexpected work related project and 

would not be able to return home until Sunday. I didn’t know what to 

do as typically to take Mel to an evaluation she would have to be 

heavily sedated as she would be screaming and laying on the floor 

refusing to leave the house.  So of course I really wanted to 

reschedule the appointments given ’s past history.  But I did 

not postpone the appointments due to

Hi Demi,

I was told that I would need a Occupational Therapist who is NDT

Certified to help with her handwriting. I was also told that

I would need to purchase a Open Palm Hand Weight which I did from

www.therapyshoppe.com. I received the Open Palm Hand Weight this past

Saturday and took it to our evaluation on Monday and Martha said that

is the one that I would be told to purchase when the OT

begins. is already using it and I am seeing a difference.

Once I receive the OT Evaluation mid March, I will make sure I pass

along any and all information received from that evaluation.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any further questions.

Thanks,

Robin
