I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has so graciously donated money for Alex's Therapy Camp. This is a dream come true for us and we are excited to see the great things that will happen for Alex as a result of going in July. I am also excited as I will be going with him and getting on the spot training myself. I have been able to take some of the training already and it will also benefit Evan as well. Evan's therapy clinic also uses Dr. Masgutova's MNRI work and we are seeing nice gains for Evan with it also. This work will be timely for Alex as we have maximized many other avenues for him already and he still continues to struggle.
The good news as of today, we are only $1,300.00 away from reaching our total goal of $8,000!!! So if any of you were planning to donate money toward his camp we need to have that money sent into Bridge to Healing or directly to us at our home address by next Friday June 10th. Bridge to Healing will be able to provide a tax deductible receipt for you if you so choose. Thank you for being a blessing to us at this point in time.
For those of you out there who are wanting to support us in prayer here are the following needs we have:
1. The final amount will come in, including money for our hotel stay.
2. The therapists with the experience Alex needs for his unique needs would be assigned to working with him and that they would be able to easily identify where his deficits are and know what reflex(es) are needed to repattern those deficits.
3. Alex would be able to physically and emotionally tolerate the extensive period of work each day-he will need to be able to work with therapists for 6 hours each day-that is no easy task for a 12 year old who'd rather be doing other things than laying on a massage table.
4. The reflex repatterning being done would permanently anchor in his nervous system and body.
5. Both Alex and myself would make new social connections with others in attendance at the camp.
6. Both Alex and myself would physically be ready for therapy camp.
7. For the remainder of our family (Logan at camp; Alan and Evan at home) for their safety and things would go well.
I have started to work through my grief with the help of a dear friend and one of Alex's private therapists. However, I have had a recent increase in migraine headaches. I am in need of support to address that problem because the only way I can feel better is to sleep. That isn't easy for me since our family calendar is full of appointments for the boys and summer activities coming. I wish I were able to have regular cranial sacral work on myself! I have been able to do some cranial work on myself but as a practitioner you can only do so much on yourself. I'm hoping to find someone I can trade CST with. I have been starting to use CST on my boys and I find it very fulfilling.
Well off to bed for a while to get rid of this headache!!
Oh and I plan to update our blog more regularly when we're at therapy camp-hoping to get Alan's help to learn how I can incorporate photos and other things to keep everyone updated on his progress. I know that we won't be allowed to take photos during therapy at the camp per signed agreement with MNR Institute. However, I'll make sure to take photos of him during our 'down' time.
