Session 5 of HBOT with Sevyn
(dignosis autism age 3)6-18-09
The chamber today was fairly simple. Sevyn got in happily by himself, we laid down and watched Sponge Bob. Sevyn was very affectionate and calm in the chamber and actually let me cuddle with him for most of the hour. These sessions have really made us closer. He’s been telling me all about the characters in the show and their bodies. He‘ll point to Sponge Bob and label his head, ears, eyes, nose, feet, and mouth!. (Mommy doesn’t like sponge bob much, but it’s Sevyn’s favorite and it’s helping us get through therapy so we’re going with it!) When we came home today Sevyn said to his daddy, “Dad I wan keys.” His dad then asked him why he wanted them and Sevyn replied “Yeah go to car.” “go outside”!! We understood all of it and took him for a ride around the block just because he asked!! As this new language develops so can some frustration over not knowing how to use it or not having his demands met. He has figured out how to tell us some of what he wants, but when he can’t have it he throws quite the fit. At least now he’s screaming because he’s mad that he can’t watch CARS again and not screaming just to scream! More formed normal seeming poop again today! We’re seeing true regularity for the first time! YAY! Removing Soy and sugars has really helped, as well as being more strict about being GFCF. We’ve been watching him carefully and have seen no staring spells since starting HBOT! Sevyn just seems more focused and present. He’s been sleeping better, last night was a little restless for him, but he’s doing much better.
