Happy New Year Everybody.

It has now been a very busy four months since the treatment. We were told to expect to see results between 3 and 6 months and have noticed some changes we'd like to tell you about.

Firstly upon Alex's return to school in term four the first reports that came back from her teachers was that she was a lot more vocal, to the point where she was told off for making too much noise and distracting the other children. Distract away I say.

Next people noticed she was holding her upper body better and paying more attention to what was happening around her making eye contact easier and holding it for longer.

It has been easier for me to wait until independent people have commented on her progress, that way I know it's not just wishful thinking on my part. One improvement I have noticed that is indisputable is with her eating. She always liked Twisties and would suck on them until they were soggy then push them out of her mouth, now she chews them up and swallows them down with out wasting a crumb.

So here's to continuous improvement, we'll keep you posted.
