Linda's Daughter Recovers

by Linda Guevarez:  I wanted to do a check in with you all after having my daughter on full protocol for over 3 years. She is 32 and around 4 years ago started regressing. It started with making a vocal moan type sound and self talk. Then a loss of interest in lots of things, music, mini golf, dance class,movies, etc. She didn't want to go to her day program, or go to bed, or get up in the morning. She was anxious and agitated most of the time. Medical appointments were a nightmare.After 3 long years we have much improvement. She has slowly returned to her previous interests and goes to a special needs Sunday School class, dance lessons, horse back lessons, and participates well in all. She went to the dentist a few weeks ago and she asked me to sit in the waiting room for her and did lovely. I just set her supplements by her plate at meals and she takes them all herself (definitely not the case in the beginning) and she is not on any other meds. We still have self talk and that weird moaning sound but I'll take it for now. Just wanted to put a word of encouragement out there to stick with it and I think you will see progress. The road gets easier. Here is a picture if her participating in her day program sport day yesterday and in her recital costume. 3 years ago I would not have believed it. Blessings to you all.
