Hello there,
Just an update on what's been going on around her lately. Georgia has been doing really well. Everyday she amazes me with her transformation into what I like to call "a real boy" Ok yes, I am aware that she is a girl, and that she is in fact real, but I am going with the Pinocchio reference here people so deal. Today Daddy bought her a new doll for her new dollhouse (to be posted about later) and she was very excited. She called it a "Girl doll" which is great because she is starting to label things properly. She then proceeded to quietly play with the doll in the house and outside of it. She gave her a purse and pranced her around acting out some scene or another....sooo cute...like a "real boy (girl)" The other day we were walking through the woods and she grabbed my hand and said, "Follow me, ok." to which my reply was "Ok" while trying not to cry because my beautiful baby had just spoken directly to me in a full sentence....like a "real boy."
Yesterday she found a hammer (yes, I know wonderful parenting) and she went to her new dollhouse and started pretending to hammer the nails in the roof. As she did this she said "Tap, tap, tap." She's soo smart.
George has been slightly less hyperactive lately. Don't know if that's because she may be coming down with a cold or if the GABA is starting to work....I like to think it's the GABA. Yesterday we went to the playground and she played on each thing there (usually she just spends the whole time swinging) and when she did the swing she barely stimmed at all. Usually the swing is a stim-heavy activity. That's a god start as far as I'm concerned.
The A Hope for Autism (AHFA) therapist came Tuesday and met with Georgia and talked with me about goals. She thought GA's eye contact was great now (she hasn't seen her for 9 months or so). I am so excited that they will be back with GA. She will be starting with 6 hrs of therapy a week which is great and she may be bumped up to 10hrs. Next Friday she is going to see the DAN doctor which I am really excited about. We have been wanting to take her to see him, but he has huge waiting lists and our insurance won't cover him. AHFA got us an appt. within 2 weeks and the time is donated so we don't have to worry about the bill, yay! Also they are trying to get Krikman labs (where we get all of GA's supplements) to donate supplements, which would be AWESOME. They are very expensive and insurance won't cover any of them. I am very excited to be starting with this pilot program with them. Maybe the DAN doctor can help us with our biomedical treatment and GA can improve even more.
Anyway, time to go make sure GA is not peeing on the floor (#1 goal for AHFA therapist: Potty training!)
