WELCOME TO CLINTON'S CAUSE
 

Today my mom and dad took me to school. I got to go there and meet with a very very nice lady who showed me some of her toys.  Blocks, pictures, farm houses, barns, all kinds of toys.  She gave me an evaluation to possibly get me signed up for preschool.  This was a really big decision for my mom and dad, but they feel like it was time for me to get around other kids and see how it goes.  This school is willing to work with my mom and dad on my special diet.  They said my mommy could pack my lunch for me.  The cool part is I will ride the bus and it has seatbelts and I will have an aid on the bus with me at all times.  Mom really liked that, because of the recent reports of the little kid getting hurt on the bus from the driver.  There was also a fire drill while I was there. I got to go outside and I saw my sister in her kindergarten class.  She looked like she was behaving.  That made mom and dad happy. They were also given a brochure from the nice teacher about neurotoxins and kids.  It was given out by the National Parents As Teachers Association and March of Dimes.  WOW.  It was so awesome to see some progress from these organizations accepting the connection between neurotoxins and autism. 

So, it will be a few more days and a few more meetings with some of the good folks at the school and I might get to go.  YAY :) Keep me in your prayers on this. 

I also wanted to say since my last post.... My regression has gotten better.  I am starting to get my words back and I am less crabby.  My brother's Caleb and Cody are really suffering from allergies right now. I hope that gets better soon.  Mom has been giving them Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with water.  It helps clean the junk out.  You can also take 2 cups of warm water and 1/2 cup of salt (sea salt preferred) and take a nasal syringe and lightly squirt a little bit in your nose, while holding your head at an angle and then suction your nose out.  That helps on really bad days. 

My mom made an amazing loaf of GF Zucchini bread the other day. Check the GFCF Tab for her recipe.

Well, I just wanted to post about my school day.... I will talk again soon.

xoxo Clint

Hey ya'll. It has been a busy week around here.  My sister's started school this week and mom and dad have been running around like crazy getting them ready.  It hasn't helped any that me and my younger siblings all have a cold.  It has been awhile since we've had illness in our home.  There was some herbicide sprayed around my house in my neighborhood and it has caused me to regress A LOT.  Herbicides and Pesticides are full of a ton of harmful chemicals.  For kids like me who have a sensitive system and can't excrete the toxins as easily it is a nightmare.  We have to do Epsom Salt Baths nightly to help me cope.  There has been a lot of screaming and biting and hitting around here the last few days.  Mom describes it as rage.  It has been awhile since we've dealt with this.  They've been praying a lot with me though, so we know and have Faith that the Lord will restore me back to full health.  He is our great physician.  Please pray for us too. We really benefit from a lot of prayer from all of you.  Take Care and God Bless ... Love Ya'll, Clint xoxo

Just Breathe... 08/11/2010
 
This is Mom's day to post. We have recently moved and things still haven't settled down.  One of the things that families affected by Autism face is losing homes, bankruptcy, divorce, extreme poverty, etc. We recently lost our home because of all of the expenses we face dealing with recovery.  We have since found another home, but our resources for the diet are gone.  The community with which we live doesn't have the luxuries of living in a big city.  Like WF Market, and organic farmers to get grass fed/finished beef from.  So I'll have to travel in and buy in bulk until I can get my own garden set up.  I'm hoping to get some chickens of my own as well.  We just keep praying and keeping Faith in the Lord above that he will continue to provide our needs. I know he will.  We just have to get out of the way and let him work.  The kids are all doing well and seem to be happier here than they were in the city.  The people we've met are so responsive to what we do with our recovery efforts, they want to help, however they just don't really understand all of it.  So, I can definately see lots of opportunities to teach several others what we know. I can't wait really. 

Clinton is doing good. He is a little more aggressive than he normally is.  So is his 2 year old brother Caleb.  They have been pushing each other around.  When Caleb screams Clinton goes up and pushes him down and when Clinton screams Caleb just stands there and jumps up and down and screams. Then the girls decide it is their turn to ask 20 questions at the same time.  Aaaahhhh there is never enough attention.  Sometimes I feel like I need 8 more arms.  Most days are better than this one, but when we have these it helps to just get on here and blog about it. 

Please continue to pray for our family.  Feel free to comment on any of Clinton's blog entries.  We love hearing from those we love.  Please support our cause, we put a lot of effort into it.  We're not going to quit fighting and we're not going away, and if you know someone who might benefit from the information on here refer them to us. 

Ya'll take care and God bless each and everyone of you.

Hey ya'll!!!Hope everybody is surviving the heat. It has been really really hot.  We have been up to a lot around here.  We recently moved to the country and I am now able to breathe clean air.  My speech has improved a lot and things are a lot better here for my family. We didn't move too far either so I can still go see my doctor.

We celebrated my sister's 6th birthday the other day and I sang Happy Birthday to her.  I also got to tell my Maw Maw on the phone Happy Birthday.  This is a first.  It made my mom and dad sooo happy.  I also recently asked for a glass of milk, I am using my fork, and I ate celery for the first time tonight. This made mommy very very happy.  It seems as if my taste buds like veggies.  Who knew???

I can still be a little quirky though.  Mom thinks that is just being a 4 year old though.  It is just amazing to her and my dad that just a little over a year ago we were told in our doctor's office that I would never talk, never get along with other kids, never love, never never never never etc... Well my parents like challenges for sure!!! We are proving them wrong.  He also said I would end up institutionalized .... HA. 

God is good and I feel so blessed that he has led my parents to the right resources to help me get healthier. 

Ya'll take care and I will post more soon.
