Blood test results were normal.

We got the results back from Nate's blood tests that were ordered by the neurologist. They were looking for Fragile X, Chromosomal abnormalities, serum amino acids, and a whole laundry list of others. I guess these have been present in many children with Autism - but not in Nateman. That means we won't be testing Neve, since it isn't present in Nate and we won't be choosing a treatment method surrounding these results. It just rules it out and we are back to the drawing board.
Nate did great with his therapies on Thurs and Fri. He is really relating to Jasmine (OT) and Melanie(ST) well. He is engaging in activities and initiating play. These are GREAT steps.
Nate has also been getting the full dosages of DMG and Super Nu Thera this weekend - I know I will sound crazy but I swear he is "talking" a ton more. Maybe it is wishful thinking. We will see. LOTS of families swear by these supplements- so I will just keep a "sippy cup is half full" mentality.
Little Gym was way overwhelming for the little guy this weekend (Aaron took him)- but we will keep trying.
Oh- and Nate is paying so much more attention to the cat. He has tried to "pet" him a few times too....all good things....
