bye bye casein, hello gluten

After much thought we have reintroduced gluten into Victor's diet. Our original plan was to leave him gluten free & take out casein on top of it so we would be GFCF but we really have not seen any indications that this has been working for us. We reintroduced gluten on Friday and he had a whole weekend of eating whatever he wanted. Today we took out casein. We're going to try this out for at least a month as well and then possibly do GFCF after that. So now this blog is named wrong but oh well!

Halloween was fun. We made it to about 2 dozen houses. Victor was a trooper. He seemed to have a good time (he loves being outside). He didn't quite understand what we were doing and didn't get any candy into his bag by himself but he loved going up to people's doors with mommy & daddy. Many times he chose which candy he wanted & then we put it in his bag for him.

Tomorrow we have a group meeting with EI. My husband, myself, EI coordinator, Special Ed 1, Special Ed 2, OT, & ST are all meeting up to go over Victor's plan. He has not made the improvements we were hoping for when we started this 7 months ago. He just got a new ST recently who is doing AVB with him & we are hoping that will help him more but they all want to increase his services. He currently has OT 2 times a week & she wants to bump it to 3, ST also 2, and she wants to bump it to 4, Special Ed 4 times, and they want to bump it to 5. OT also wanted us to get a PT eval but we really don't think he really needs it. I am not opposed to an eval but my DH really doesn't want to introduce another person - we just want them to focus on getting him to communicate.
