Almost Finished

Kobe does so much better when we are Utah. I don't know if it's because of the altitude change and the thinner air, or the better oxygen from all the trees, or if it's the less toxins in the air. Maybe he just likes being around a lot of people. I think it's a combo of all of these things. A lot of parents of autistic kids say they notice a change when they go to the mtns. The movie The Horse Boy is that sort of thing. They took their son to Mongolia for a Shaman healing trek, they think it was the Shaman healing, I think it was the climate change. I wish we could move back. We would but the other services aren't even close to being as good there as they are in AZ. Especially in So. Utah. we would have to pay out of pocket for pretty much EVERYTHING! Last year AZ passed a law that mandated insurance companies to pay for autism services. Unfortunately it doesn't cover all the cost, but the state picks up the rest if you qualify. Luckily they don't go off of income, they go from how severe the child is. We only have a few weeks left on this phase of the study drug. Then we move on to phase 2 which is we know he will be getting the drug. We are not sure if he has the drug right now or not, the only difference we have noticed is that he goes #2 a lot more now. Before he went like once or twice a week. and he cried and cried from the pain. Now he goes almost everyday and doesn't cry at all. He does take the drug in applesauce 3 times a day. Sometimes we use yogurt and in his oatmeal at breakfast, but mostly applesauce. We don't know if its all the fruit or not. Before he ate a lot of fruit and still does he loves apple's grapes, bananas and oranges. He has been on a low sugar diet and doesn't eat candy or cookies or refined or high fructose sugars hardly ever. So fruit is his dessert and treats. Maybe the boost from extra fruit has made him loosen up. I don't know but, I will at the end of the month and maybe we won't have had the drug and just need even more fruit in his diet.We'll see.
