Update

Well so much has happened. Time has just gotten away from me. AJ is doing very well. He loves his new school though there was an adjustment phase. He had night terrors and bed-wetting. This has resolved and he is doing much better. I did take him off the fish oil. He had some behaior issues and when I took him off the oil he improved drastically. It's hard to tell if the two are related or it was just a coincidence but I'm not messing with anything now.

He is speaking much more than before and more people seem to be able to understand more of what he is saying. His mean length of utterance (the average number of words he says in a sentance seems to be getting larger and he has started talking to his friends at the child care center more. I have noticed him starting to stutter at times. Mostly when he is trying to say a vowel sound like "I". I am hoping this is temporary and will speak to Carol about it.

I think the most exciting thing is that he is trying to communicate and seems so much less frustrated. He seems much happier than he has in the past and I am so glad that he is settling into a routine.

I should be getting his first progress report from his teachers on Monday. I communicate with them weekly but this is the official report required by his IEP. I will share the results once I have had time to look them over.

As a side note, I am in a much better place. I realized that I was suffering from depression again and went back on anti-depressants. Things don't seem quite so overwhelming anymore. I am able to function and stay focused on the important things.
