This blog is about Nicholas’s journey through autism to recovery.
WOW!! Nicholas came home from school today on the bus for the first time. I heard he did really well - and when the bus pulled up and he saw me, he was so excited! (and shocked to be home all at the same time) — He’s like Mr. Independence coming home from school all on his own.
This post is a must read for anyone looking into the facts regarding vaccines, thimerisol, etc. Corneila Read puts the pieces of the puzzle together very well - and if you’ve never heard about these facts before, it will make your head spin.
Boy, they’re stopping at nothing…. check this out…..
Last week, the New Mexico Dept of Health let kiddos and their parents into the Jim Carey movie, “Horton hears a Who!”, with a copy of their vaccination record. If kids weren’t up to date, they had a clinic on site to vaccinate kids right there at the movies.
I’m torn between thoughts of boy, what a slap in the face that is to star, Jim Carey, being his girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy, has gone public with her son’s recovery from autism due to his vaccinations - and wow, are they really this desperate? Seriously parents, I hope you’re waking up to this - they are getting desperate with their tactics to keep everyone in line with their vaccination schedule - and that alone ought to tell you something. Sadly, once your child becomes injured from a vaccine, these same people are no where to be found to help you and that includes your pediatrician. (well, most of them)
Anyway, Jim Carey was able to quickly halt this campaign!! Read the story here: http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/03/jim-carrey-ha-1.html
We’ve decided to give HBOT a shot. We’ve reserved a chamber for May. Boy, am I hoping to see lots of great gains - and praying for them, everyday. If you have a minute, please say a prayer that 1) we can get Nicholas into the chamber and 2) it helps him

Yeah baby!! In like a week, I eliminated one inch of yeast. His belly is down to 24 inches.
Have I mentioned that Kai-Lan is Nicholas’s girlfriend? Kai-Lan is a little cartoon Chinese girl, on Ni hao Kailan, who plays with her friends, Tolee, Rintoo and Ho-Ho - and often talks to her Grandpa. This is a very cute show - and I really enjoy watching it with him (unlike others that I just cannot bear, so we *never* seem to find them on TV, darn!) Nicholas is learning several mandarin words and phrases and actually uses them when he’s not watching the show.
Not only did I get a kiss, that I did NOT ask for, but it was followed by an “I love you, mommy” – wow.
Wow, the words coming out of Nicholas are phenominal. I. am. loving. it.
He’s using words like whistle, blanket - I can’t even think of them all now. New words we’ve never heard him use before - and they’re coming out of nowhere — he didn’t repeat us saying them! See, I knew this stuff was in there somewhere!
He’s back to wanting to do puzzles - and is really checking out all of his toys (and he has a small fortune in toys) and carefully selecting what he wants to play with. The interaction while doing the puzzles is just amazing, I could not be happier. He’s naming things, making animal sounds - and this is all UNPROMPTED. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee
I bought Nicholas a tiger t-shirt -= and showed him that he had a tiger on his shirt. He said “tiger” and then roared! I was so happy I could have cried.
He noticed a little puppy dog embroidered on the collar of his shirt yesterday, kind of like the izod logo. It was too adorable. Not too long ago, Nicholas was unphased by the things on his clothing and could have cared less.
We’re on tag patrol. Where his shirt taggies used to be something he enjoyed playing with, now he finds a tag, and comes running, ’scissors, scissors!! mommy need scissors” = so cute - I have to get the scissors and cut out the tag. He just loves this. It’s like he hit the lottery.
