Too Good To Be True - I Sure Hope Not!

Well, the treating the yeast bit has gone well. Won't say Ben's tantrums have gone away, but he's so much better about his mood swings. He's much happier overall now. I've given him Threelac every day, and I truly believe it's helped him. At school, they are giving good reports to me almost every day. For a while there in January through April, he had three or four bad days at school for every one good day. Pinching, hitting, crying, whining. All in all, his tolerence level has gotten better and he's much easier to deal with. However, nothing is perfect. Baseball was a bust. I had Ben in the Challenger Little League, and although he could get the ball and throw it back to his coach without a problem. He cried the entired time. Didn't like doing it. So after two practices and a game of crying, we've decided to let him off the hook. No point in ruining the other players fun time. He truly seemed to be the only one who wasn't enjoying himself. Still, we've started recreational horse therapy on Wednesdays and for the most part that seems to be going well. He won't wear the helmet and so he hasn't actually been on the horse yet, but this week he only cried a little and by the end seemed to be really enjoying the horse. He was even petting the horse's head and brushing her. I've been surprised by how much I like being around the horses too, I've never been around any for any length of time. They are such amazing animals! Their very kind, gentle and curious about people. It's very sweet to see their awareness of Ben. I will be sorry when we move since we'll have to stop the lessons. Oh yes. Let me tell you. We're moving. Again. True, we just moved here last summer, but thanks to the Air Force, they're letting us out of here to get better services for Ben. We'll be moving to the DC area, where Ben can get ABA, see some doctors who have a clue about autism, and do whatever else comes his way. So that's our good news. Goodbye WA, hello DC! Course that means a cross country drive is in the works for July. HOT HOT HOT!
