For so many parents who have a child with special needs, holidays can be a very stressful time. Schedules change, food is different, and we hope that they do not meltdown too badly.
This is our first holiday season with Ryan and this diet. We started to notice differences last year and the holidays only solidified our belief that something was different with Ryan. This season is looking like it is going to be a much different experience. We are so grateful for all the support and help that we receive from family and friends. We sometimes forget how much progress Ryan has made over these past 32 weeks. It is not until someone comes over to the house that has not seen him for sometime and the look of surprise on their face is all worth it!
We consider ourselves very lucky to have people who have seen our progress and embrace this diet. I am sure there were a few, myself included, that thought how much difference can changing his diet help? Now, we have people asking us what he can eat, what kinds of desserts that they can bring over to the house or serve if we are going to them. We have found so much support and help that this Thanksgiving season we are so blessed to have you in our life.
We have included a few pictures of Ryan during the Thanksgiving weekend.
