"Hi DaDdY!

"Hi Daddy!" It was the first time the words had ever come out of his mouth without prompting. Cody stood in the doorway in utter amazement. Lochlan looked up and upon seeing his daddy in the doorway greeted him. We looked at each other and started laughing. They were the sweetest words. Yesterday was the day after we gave the last injection. All day he was chattering his own language as well as spontaneously saying a few two word phrases. This is simply amazing considering as little as 2 weeks ago he would only say a two word phrase with prompts unless it was bye-bye, stop-it, let-go, or more-please. (these are words that Lochlan only says together and in his mind it is not two words together but only one word.) He even looked as if he was "present" all day! His eyes were engaging and alert. Normally he is in his own world and you may happen to be apart of it for a second and then he's gone. Yesterday was his best day yet. His occupational therapist told me she could just cry; he did so well. He played with play-doh for at least 5 minutes! He didn't stim on the cupboard doors and only stimmed on the room door a couple of times. It was a totally different kid. We still have not had a decrease in his self-injurous behavior but hopefully that will also start to get better. We definitely will be continuing the B-12 injections and will continue to monitor his progress along the way!

Sully is also getting injections and we have not seen such a huge impact on him as of yet. He is very verbal and his eye contact is fair to pretty good-most of the time. He continues to spend much time lining his cars up wherever they are and seems to get "stuck" on things quite frequently. He is our rigid one who thrives on schedule and sameness. We are going to create him a big picture schedule for at home so when he will know what's going on. He seems to have more trouble coping when we are not at home so I will also make sure I take his PEC schedule with us when we go.
Here he is lining up his new cars.
