got the PECS in the mail

Yesterday the PECS (picture exchange communication system) came in the mail!!! We are so excited!! Andy and I were cutting out the pictures and putting velcro on everything last night. Drew was going through all his new stuff with a huge smile on his face, so cute. His speech therapist has been using this system with him in his sessions and is amazed at how quickly he has picked it up and how receptive he is to it, so we feel this is going to be a really good thing for him.

Thank you to everyone who has joined our blog. It makes us feel so supported and loved!!!

DAN Dr. appt

We went tuesday to see the dr and talked with him for about 2 hrs. He gave us a hair test and a stool test to take home. The hair test is to see the toxins and metals that are in his system and the stool test will tell us the levels of nutrients in his body and vitamin deficiencies he may have. Once those have been taken and mailed in we can start the supplements he gave us at the appt. and then start the diet.

Supplements starting next week include:
Cod Liver Oil
Cal-Mag Zinc Liquid
Iron drops
THER-BIOTIC complete Multi-species Probiotic Supplement
VITASPECTRUM mult vitamin/mineral/trace element supp. iron and copper free
