Whatever It Takes

Getting Will to walk by Christmas is going to take enormous energy and an oustanding attitude - not just from Will but as a family. We are looking at other things we can do to help Will. Like right now, Will is riding the exercise bike for 20 minutes while daddy does pushups alongside him. He can't do this alone.

The PT therapists Kim and Jerry are sooooo amazing! They set the bar high for Will, push him beyond what he wants to do and somehow end up being his best buddies in the process. Kim is even dreaming about Will and treatments. That's dedication.

We are also looking into nontraditional methods to help Will - massage therapy, accupuncture, visualization, etc. The biggest change for our family is going to be our diet. After quite a bit of research we are going to implement a totally new diet for our family. An anti-inflammatory diet has great results in general health and in the reduction of inflammation in the body, pariticularly the brain. The brain cannot totally heal until the inflammation is gone. So starting this week - no sugar, no dairy, no processed food. What will we eat you ask?? Salmon, grains, fruits (berries are best), green veggies and omega 3 oil/fish oil, green tea and water. Oh yummo!

Whatever it takes.
