An update on Matt
Over the last three weeks, Matt has made some wonderful progress. Last week when Melissa visited the school to take part in a Thanksgiving celebration, every one of the teachers and counselors told her separately that Matt’s behavior and progress in the last two weeks had been remarkable. One of the specialists who works closely with him said she expects Matt will join his mainstream classmates next year.
We give God the glory for blessing some of our many efforts. It seems we have at last found a diet that is entirely healthful to Matt. It is a narrow intersection of gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free (commonly called GFCFSF) and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), emphasizing organic and whole foods. That plus lots of supplements, since the diet combined with Matt’s preferences leave him with little variety.
Is it worth it? Are we crazy? For those who have known Matt over the last two years, this picture will speak many words. It was taken today after church.
