Steve went to the DAN doctor appt today and things went well. We got clarification on what supplements we start when and in what order and what to look for, etc. We also now have the bags we need to do a urine test at home and send that to the lab to test for yeast. The theory is that the immune system of kids with autism is so weak and due to that an increased medicaions, hey have a build up of yeast. Those of you who have read Jenny McCarthy's book know that her son started recovering tremendously after hey was on yeast ridding medication. So this test will determine whether or not Tyler needs to rid his body of yeast. We will be starting him on digestive enzymes to help with digestion and since we found a next step formula that is gluten adn casein free, we are going to be able to skip the calcium supplements. Both boys are back on formula in addition to the rice milk now to help give them extra calories, fat, nutrients, etc. They still have 12 month waists!

Tomorrow is a longer session to make up for Tuesday that was cancelled. So we'll be doing floor time/social group, therapy with Carrie, and then videotaping. Should be a busy day.
