Wow, what a day! It has been quite busy and we have a ton still to do tomorrow. We'll be lucky to be out of here by midnight. I am a bit too exhausted to go too much in detail about our day, but here's an overview. As we know, Noah has a digestional yeast problem, and we are going to be working on that problem very aggressively with supplements and some medications.
We discussed botox, but there is one thing we have yet to have tried, and even the most sceptical medical doctor at the institutes swears by it. Tomorrow morning Noah is going to have a session of acupuncture on his adductors. In a number of patients this has been shown to be as effective as botox on very rigid muscles.
The respiratory specialist tweaked our respiratory program by taking away the big resistive masks we were doing because he felt they weren't being very effective. We increased the "little" masks we have been doing, and kept the respiratory patterning and inhalations the same.
Tomorrow we still have five people to see, and it will likely be Sunday before I can give a full update as we will be traveling tomorrow night and Saturday. Please pray for a safe trip!
Noah's army is a group of volunteers united in doing a program that will give Noah the best chance he has for reaching his potential. Come by any time for news on his progress and to see pictures of him and his brother.
Prayer Requests
UPDATED 08/20/12
1. Please pray that we can continue to get our new house set up for all of Noah's needs and that we can find all the volunteers we needs to do Noah's program (this is always a big, slow process when we move).
3. Our other big request is for Noah's hip. Noah's out-of-joint left hip is really holding him back. He needs range of motion, and he needs the muscles that are too tight to loosen up and the loose muscles to tighten up and get bigger. Pray for a new type of physical therapy we are started specifically to help the hip.
