Other Notes: Jaden’s mom, Jodene, writes: “Jaden was a typical baby, reaching all developmental milestones. He began to show signs of regression around 2 years old. Jaden has been gf/cf/sf [gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free] for 6 months. Prior to this he was in the midst of a slow regression. He is now showing progress. Jaden loves to have fun, loves his teddy bears, is a snuggly and cuddly boy, who likes to laugh and play, all the time. He is currently doing The Listening Program (TLP) and goes to private and public preschools.” Jaden’s DAN! doctor is Dr. Joseph Humphreys in West Jordan, Utah.

April 13, 2009: Update from Jodene: “We completed the two tests thanks to Lend4 Health, and are anxiously awaiting the results. I will keep you posted when I get them. Jaden did some new stuff this week, I’m not sure what changed, but he actually hugged my leg from behind and said “I love you,” then ran off. I’m still shocked, because he is mostly non-verbal, unless we use a reinforcer and request. He did it again in the car yesterday! … He does have a few new friends, that he is starting to interact with much like a NT [neuro-typical] child. The stims also went down this weekend. In addition to this, I learned Jaden is advanced in many things more so then other NT classmates. All these changes are so exciting. I’m optimistic another recovery is on the horizon and looking forward to new things.”

April 30, 2009: 1st repayment installment received. Amount was $64.67; it was one day early.

April 30, 2009: Update on Jaden: “I got Jaden’s Metobolic results today, but I don’t really understand them. The comments said things like “possible diabetic, and toxicity, and recommend detoxification and MB 12.” We have another dr appointment in a couple of weeks, so he can go over them with us…..It should be fun!”
