NV Update...

Okay, I know I posted this yesterday, but I can't find it on the board...hope

this one goes through...

Let me start off by saying my daughter is 4, has been in Speech since she was DX

with apraxia at 2ish. She is currently making leaps and bounds on her own (is

taking fish oil) so I was nervous starting it because she is having surges right

now.

I got my NV on Tuesday evening. I decided to start it on Wednesday. I gave my 4

yr old (will be 5 in June) 1 scoop in some milk and ice cream in the

morning...She HATED it! I got about 3/4 of it in her. At night, I made some

yummy chocolate pudding (you know, the box kind you mix with milk!), I set aside

some for her and mixed it with another scoop, then let it set. She gobbled it

down!! Couldn't even tell it was in there! This morning I mixed it with

chocolate milk, she didn't like it, still made her drink it! Then again at night

with pudding, again, she ate all of it...not sure how long the pudding thing

will last though.

I made myself a shake yesterday in the morning with water, tap water at that,

and BLECH...it was gross...BUT...it tastes just like a whey protein shake, so

there!! Today I made me one with 1% milk and it was much better. I may mix it

with a banana and I've done with other protein shakes in the past and it's quite

good!

For the shocker...today I picked my dd from preschool (just your typical

preschool, no bells and whistles, certainly not a specialized preschool) and her

teacher puts her in. She starts off by saying " Tori had a fabulous day today,

best day she's ever had...she was focused, payed attention, just a really,

really great day...until just now when a little boy was touching her and she

turned around and choked him " Not funny, but funny at the same time because Tori

then looked at me and said " do not talk to me about that, okay, I know to use my

words and to tell him to stop touching me " !!!! This from the girl with sensory

issues who touches every and anything she comes across! Anyway, her teacher

repeats what she said before about what a fantastic day she's had so focused,

etc...I'm floored...she's only had 1.5 doses the .5 being this morning...One of

the main reasons I wanted to try it was because I was worried about her " lack of

focus " !! This evening we went for a walk around the lake and OH MY GOODNESS, she

wouldn't stop talking...she noticed EVERYTHING about every single house we

passed, she was talking about this person being that person's neighbor and how

that person has 2 neighbors, one right there and one right there...hey, look at

that playset, I don't have a playset like that, mine doesn't have a yellow thing

that goes down...hey look at that duck, he splashed in the water

(giggle,giggle), oh, there's a bridge we're about to go over and on and on and

on!!! Really hoping it works on her articulation because that's our biggest

issue.

I did record her last night, so if anyone has any suggestions on how I can

upload that or to where, let me know...I would love to share her from last

night!!!
