So in december we started a blind study for Kyson in Salt Lake. We give him an enzyme three times a day then every 2 weeks we take him out to the doctor and they check for progress. So the bad news is there had been no progress. Yesterday was his 12 week check up and we found out he was on the placebo so now we get to give him the real stuff for the next 18 months, the doctor said they are seeing good results so we are very hopeful he will make some good progress. The enzyme is for digesting protein and sending it to the brain. The clinic we are with has a 100% rate of every autistic child they have tested has not had this enzyme. I guess it is only 80% nation wide, but this research sounds very hopeful.
This will be amazing if it will just give these kids a better future. We are not looking to cure Kyson he is an amazing little boy and I wouldn't change that, but he has big dreams just like my other kids and I want him to be able to reach those goals.
