Our Brain Balance Journey: Holy Cow!

Holy Cow!

Today Was absolutely insane! It started at 6:00 am and it is now 11:08 and I have only been home for 30 minutes! I have SO many stories to tell about today's events - PLUS all of the stuff that I wanted to post yesterday!

But - Since I got almost no sleep last night (this is becoming a pattern...) And I have another crazy day tomorrow, I fear I have got to go to bed. Although my blog posts may take you minutes to read, they take me a long time to write so for me to write what I want to say today I would be up another 2 hours!

I will say that the blood work went well and better than expected. I can't wait to get the results. Then we ended up at Whole Foods, Target, Costco, Chick-fil-A, the pool, the gas station, Sam's Club, Costco, the gas station and then Target. It was not a fun filled day of shopping! I don't have time for those and I don't even enjoy them. Especially with 3 children that do NOT want to be in the car! It was rough! But, since we had a car for ONE day, I was determined to get everything done so that we can finally get organized and settled in.

So much to write tomorrow I will need to start in the morning to get it all done :) Oh wait, I have to take the rental car back by 8:30, bake bread, make waffles and cheese crackers, patty a bunch of hamburgers to freeze with the organic beef I got today, repeat the same with ground turkey, organize the house and the kitchen, install the new water purifier, figure out how to water the batteries on my golf cart and then be to Brain Balance by 11:45. I am going 15 minutes early to meet the insurance agent and sign the papers for my renters insurance and my golf cart insurance. Then I have a parent meeting while Wyatt is in session, etc. etc. etc. You get the picture!

Goodnight!

Are cheese crackers new? I've never heard of those. Did they replace Cheese Mates? If you decide that Haze is too much work out there - you can put her on a plane to me! I will deal with the whining for you.

I'm curious about the cheese crackers too. Although, I'm wondering what the recipe is. But I know you're busier than busy, so even if don't see the recipe for a year, I'm ok with that.

I am seriously amazed at all you do and your attitude about it all. You're my hero!

What is Brain Balance?

Brain Balance Achievement Centers offer the Brain Balance Program ® in 47 nationwide locations. The Brain Balance Program® is an individualized and comprehensive approach to helping children with neurobehavioral and learning difficulties surmount their unique challenges.

This proprietary, non-medical program has been successful in helping hundreds of children reach their physical, social/behavioral health and academic potential. We work with children who suffer with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette’s, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Our UPDATED Story!

We have made the hard decision to split our family up temporarily so that our boys can attend the Balance Center to treat their Autism, ADHD, etc. There are no centers near us so the three kids and I moved across the country leaving my husband home working extremely hard to support us on this journey. We will be here at least 6 months and after that we don't know, but we do know that this is the beginning of a journey that will change our lives forever.

The purpose of this blog is for me to document every last detail of our journey so that I will never forget it and so that I can track their progress day by day. It is also to keep friends and family updated of how we are doing. I decided to keep last names and locations private but leave the Blog open so that anyone that is searching for answers or information on the Brain Balance program can read it and make comments/ask questions. Please feel free to pass the link on to anyone you know that has a child affected by one of the disorders listed above.

UPDATE:
We are back home from our session at Brain Balance and the boys both made incredible gains. (Read below for their updates). We are now on a new journey! We are opening a Brain Balance Center in Southern Utah and then expanding into Northern Utah shortly after. We have a lot of work to do, but it is so rewarding. Our boys will be continuing in the program until they have meet all of their goals and no longer have a "functional disconnection". (Meaning, no more autism/ADHD/Sensory disorders) I will continue to post as often as possible and keep you updated on our family, the progress that the boys are making as well as the progress of our center. It is so exciting and the most amazing opportunity that we have to take the miracles that we have witnessed with Brain Balance and give them to other families.
