What a day! Brendan came in and overall was in a good mood. He started in the playroom and gradually made his way back to the therapy room. Once there, he sat down, got up, walked around and continued this pattern for about 5 minutes. Then he took his shoes off and got on the table.
We asked him what he wanted today and he did not respond to NFB on his feet; therefore, we did not do it. CST, lymph and muscle work was done on his legs and pelvis. He liked it. Brendan is getting use to more and more touching of his feet. This is a big deal.
While working on him I asked him if he would like to tell us his next remedy. Immediately he started communicating a strange word. I tried my best to spell it while the homeopath looked it up. Much to our surprise there was a remedy very similar to that word. When it was written on a piece of paper sprayed with holy water Brendan held it for a very long time. Overall, he became calm and happy.
Another remedy was also coming up in which I translated the spelling as best I could. When Brendan held this piece of paper the agitations and aggravations started. It was amazing! Brendan's mom decided this is the remedy we should do when he goes on vacation and she can deal with the aggravations that come with taking remedies. We all agreed to schedule time and be supportive of Brendan's next step. His mother also thought the other remedy could possibly help relax and counter negative actions when he has meltdowns and tantrums. Perhaps they go together she said. We will wait and see.
When the session was completed Brendan did not want to leave. This is typical as kids feel better and better. Brendan proceeded to walk down the hallway; then back to the therapy room, etc. While he was doing this the next clients came in: a mom with two autistic children (Brendan and the kids know each other).
Brendan stayed the entire time the other kids were here. I worked on the kids in the kids room and Brendan sat quietly in a rocking chair watching a movie and listening to music with his friends. We all were so happy for them. They were all enjoying themselves.
They all left together and when Brendan got outside saw the train. He immediately ran as fast as he could to watch the train go by. When it was done him and mom walked back to the car and left.
It was a beautiful day!!! We are looking for many more.
