Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted last, so thought I would give you a little update. Benjamin is doing terrific! I think we are seeing some positive changes from the gluten (wheat) free diet. Ben seems more engaging, alert, and responsive. He is becoming so funny! I (Brandy) on the other hand, have been not doing as well. I hurt my back again, this time seriously. It's been a nightmare of a week, it took us 3 doctors and a trip to the ER to finally get an MRI to figure out I have 3 compressed discs, 1 herniated disc, and an annular tear in another disc. All I can say is Yowch. I never dreamed of so much pain... Anyways, I got some fantastic drugs and am hanging in there. I see a neurosurgeon tommorrow and will know a plan of action. Yesterday I got out of bed and Ben told me, "Mama sleep. Go back to room and sleep". You better believe I hoisted myself out of bed and got up! :)
On another note, last week Ben attended a "typical" preschool classroom. He sat in the class with his OT for 2 hours and participated with the other kids. He did fabulous! His OT said he was totally indestinguishable from the other kids. That's exactly what we want! The only issue he had was doing his hand and mouth thing going down the slide. Yay Ben!
