So, we started Methyl B-12 shots on Dec 3rd. Everything I have read stated that we would see a difference within 24-48 hours ... or within that time frame. The next day at school Hayden's teachers seen language improvements with multiple 2 and 3-words sentences. Well, today we were sitting on the couch reading him books and he came up to us and brought us "Go Dog Go" to read. He flipped to the first page and said Go Dog! He proceeded to flip the page and then say doggie bikey, go! He flipped to the next page and said Buggie. The next page had a boat - he said boat. The next a car - he said car. He just kept flipping pages and while he was "reading" to us what was happening in the pages he showed total emotion with it. He almost acted it out. When he got the the last page (the book is about 12-14 pages long) he started singing the tune I sing for the "Dog Party" and do the flapping motion with the book that I always do for him! Not only was he reading for me, but he also sang for the first time ever!
My eyes welled up with tears and I just grabbed him and hugged him so tight! I couldn't believe it. I had to look at my husband and ask him if he had seen what I had just seen too. About 20 minutes passed and sure enough Hayden brought the same book back and went through it and did it again - exactly the same way, but with more articulation on the words and more excitement! I am just overjoyed! I can't believe after 1 shot we are seeing this huge improvement!
The second shot is tonight so hopefully we will see even bigger improvement throughout the week! I can only pray that this is the beginning of something beautiful!!!
