This past week for Brendan has been pretty calm. He had all of his normal therapy and did really well everyday. He is still saying all of his words he learned last week. He didn't learn any new ones this week. I think he was so into eating anything and everything that he was to distracted to learn. He is going through the toddler boy stage where he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. This week I caught him eating dirt, leaves, rocks, bubbles, grass, sand, shower bar soap, dog food, stickers the list goes on. The gross part is all of those things he ate never seemed to bother him. I guess this is what I get to deal with having a boy.
We found out that Brendan has been accepted into a clinical research project at SARRC. We are so excited because this is a very intense 25 hours of therapy for 5 days. They are on a 6 month waiting list to get into this program. They have been looking for an Infant for this program which now they have Brendan so we will be starting it November 11. The best part is it's free for us. Normally it costs $2,250 for 5 days of therapy. This is exactly why we are raising money for Autism Speaks. Brendan doesn't get the money personally that we are raising however it goes to funding research projects. Now that we are part of a research project raising money for Team Brendan has so much more meaning.
Team Brendan Walk Now For Autism Speaks Walk is in 13 days. We are so excited because as of now we have 60 people walking on our Team. It is going to be such an amazing event. We are looking forward to it.
