Some Decisions....Still Praying

Thank you for the prayers! Paul and I talked about things again today and we were able to make some decisions and I'm feeling good about them so I know it's the right thing to do.

We've decided to reduce one therapy while we try out a new one that was recommended. We have already meet this new therapist - her name is Amy Lukos and she does Masgutova. Masgutova Method is a program that focuses on the Neurosensorimotor system. The techniques work on primitive reflexes and primary movements and skills to improve development and learning. Primitive reflexes are automatic movements directed from the brain stem rather than the brain itself.  When we met with Amy she evaluated Eli and she was able to tell me things about him that I had not told her yet. It was amazing to see how much she knew about him just by feeling and moving his body. One of the nice things about this therapy is that I can do most of it at home with Eli.  We'll only have to meet with Amy once a month for an evaluation and a learning session. This will drastically reduce our therapy cost!  Can we all say WOOHOO!! 

We have another prayer request.  I need to be able to learn all these new things and keep life in balance. The boys and I are starting school soon and our days will be very full. We have many exercises to do as I'm still doing the Feldenkrais exercises, the neuro-therapy puzzles, and we are adding the Masgutova exercises to Eli's day. The therapy work alone will take a good portion of our morning. Morning is the best time for Eli to learn so we have to get math and language arts done in the morning too. I'm praying that I can make it all work, but I'm nervous about how full our days are becoming and how little play time Eli may get. Eli loves to play and it's hard for him to sit and work, so please pray I can keep this fun and entertaining for him. 

We still need to make some decisions regarding Eli's medication. We will hopefully be talking with his doctor this week to discuss our options, then we will make a decision.  Please pray God will lead us in the right direction. 

Thank you for your support and prayers, we really couldn't do this without you!
