Jonathan had his appointment this week with Dr. Kendal Stewart in Austin Texas http://www.neurosensorycenters.com/index.html . For those of you who haven't heard of Dr. Stewart, he specializes in healing the nervous system of viruses, toxins, bacteria, etc. He uses machines that test for the inner ears reflexes, to access the health of the nervous system. Jonathan has never had normal function of these reflexes. We have, however, had some reflexes work better when he was on antiviral medication but never all of them and never consistent across the board. Yet, this time ALL of his reflexes were NORMAL!!!!!
Dr. Stewart was very pleased and told us the only thing that caused this were the Stem Cells Jonathan received in Costa Rica!!!! For the first time in Jonathan's life he is receiving consistent input to his nervous system!!! So all of the small changes we are seeing are because his brain is finally learning to process the information he is receiving from his 5 senses. This is AWESOME news for us. All of the minor changes we are seeing are the building blocks for bigger things to Come!!!!
Some of the changes we are seeing are: better attention to items in his environment, better attention to tasks at hand (such as, he can now drink out of an open cup!! He`never had the attention before), following directions better and faster, he seems to understand more things that are said to him, enjoying being read to while being calm, and paying attention to what is being read. He is able to relax, stim less, sleeping better and more soundly, not stimming while riding in the car but looking at things. His feet are not toeing in as much and his balance is better, lastly, he can communicate his needs and wants with nonverbal cues more consistently.
We are very excited about the changes and are looking forward to seeing more.
