For Remy's Birthday
Wow! Can you believe it?
This year, I hope to make him a birthday party theme with Cookie Monster incorporating it into his GAPS diet. I hope that by that day we will be into the FULL GAPS so that I could make him a cake and some cookies. Of course the ingredients will consistently of seeds, allowed fats, nuts and dried fruit or honey.
To be honest, Remy does not play with many toys. The things he enjoys are good food, fish oil, having fun with someone loving one-on-one and his IPad.
Remy is turning seven at the end of April!

Consultations and Therapies
Osteopathy - $120/hour - At time of writing this blog post, our first appointment is booked for April 17th. This initial appointment will be for 1.5 hours and will cost $170. Once we have the initial assessment, we should be able to find out how often treatment is recommended. I will update once we find out.
Connecting with Autism consultations - $120 to $150 per 50 minute session
Connecting with Autism GPS (to help Remy's homeschooling success) - $280
Connecting with Autism online training course - $150 for the month of April or $265
A juicer $380.00 would be helpful in getting him the juices he needs for detoxifying as part of the GAPS diet.
This year Remy has his own bank account, so all birthday cheques can be written in his name: Remy Laurin. If there are therapies that you would like to personally fund, please let us know.

Thank you all for wanting to be part of Remy's growth.
We could not do this alone. Your contribution, love, and belief in us are vital to the success of healing.
Remember, there is no such thing as a contribution that is too small. Many times people think that because what they can give is so small that it is insignificant, so do not even consider it to be helpful. But help is cumulative!
Imagine we received one dollar from each family member, friend, stranger who receives this message... now imagine that some people will want and can give more than a dollar. I'll be here to tally up and show you the evidence that gifts grow!
We are excited to share the wonderful gift of Remy and all that he offers to us.
Blissful Blessings,

Remy's INTRO GAPS DIET day 3
Remy GAPS diet day 3
March 31, 2013
This morning I gave him a probiotic with water before anything else. Yesterday was the Metagenics one and today's was the TruFlora. I have read that probiotics could cause 'die-off' reactions, so I am giving only one a morning to start.
After having soup with a raw egg yolk in the morning before 9am, Remy started to get very upset. He was crying and thrashing. I was in the shower, and Alex didn't know what to do.
Quickly after showering and washing my hair, I took Remy downstairs to the playroom. There he cried and thrashed his body on the mattress and on me. Within 5 minutes of me just being there loving him and holding him he started calming down. We got down to the playroom at 9:30 and he started being "happy" again by 9:37 or so.
I told him I would make him some tea. It was a fifteen minute tea party! It was pretty good. Remy loves the hot camomile tea with honey. I just had to be very careful he didn't burn anyone with the hot tea. I poured him a tiny hit in a small ramekin again an again. It was a good activity as it gave us a chance to practice "pour", "tea", "hot" and "more". Remy has been using the sign (ASL) consistently for a few months now.
Making lots of soup and bone broth has been central to the GAPS diet so that is what I have been soon for the last week and especially for this weekend.
Today I decided to give Remy some mashed avocado in his soup, which is in stage three of the intro diet, after he pieced my forearm with his short but very sharp strong nails. In retrospect I am not sure if it was a good idea since I didn't want him to think that hurting people would get him what he wants.
So far so good. Remy really enjoys the soup, so we may be introducing scramble eggs tomorrow. Oh, and I will probably make him some sort of casserole to give the diet some textural variance.
Getting ready for Monday now. Happy Easter.
