It has been a couple weeks since I started using the fish oil. We went with the liquid Nordic Naturals brand. I have definitely seen some improvement! He seems to be making more sounds and at a higher volume level than I have ever heard him use before. We have been continuing the weekly therapy sessions with our Early Childhood educator and our Speech Language Pathologist. They have both been very helpful in this journey. We are very thankful for our Early Childhood program. Kamdyn has been a part of Infant Toddler Services since he was 18 months old. That allowed us to get a head start on the speech services he needed. This all came into play because of our Parents as Teachers educator. We visited with her once a month. She referred us to ITS when she realized Kamdyn's speech really wasn't where it should be.
I did want to take a minute and update you on Kam's behavior issues we were having a couple weeks ago. For the most part, this has completely ended. He seems way more patient with me when I don't understand what he wants. That is such a blessing. I was having a very hard time dealing with the behavior issues!
I just started using a probiotic with Kam and I will update in a couple of weeks. I wanted to give him some time to adjust to the fish oil and be able to differentiate the results from the two. I also started dabbling into the world of essential oils. After much research and advice of others, I ordered the Young Living Kid's Geneyus oil. I diffused it last night before and during our therapy session. He did have the best therapy session that he has had in a very long time, but I don't want to give all the credit to essential oils! This is an ongoing adventure. I am planning on a lengthy one. I have decided to make it through this, I must remain positive!
